The Complete Piano Sonatas

Daniel Barenboim (piano/conductor) & Berliner Philharmoniker

Beethovens pianosonates worden vaak het Nieuwe Testament van de klavierliteratuur genoemd - werken waarvan de vele technische vernieuwingen het vermogen tot zelfexpressie van de muziek hebben vergroot. In zijn eerste opname van de cyclus combineert de jonge Daniel Barenboim helderheid van toon met frisheid van denken om een voortreffelijke lezing te leveren. De Pianoconcerten, bijna twintig jaar later opgenomen met de Berliner Philharmoniker, zijn een andere mijlpaal in de discografie.
