Editorial Review: Product Description: András Schiff s Beethoven cycle, recorded live in chronological order at Tonhalle Zurich, continues to collect critical praise as it moves forward to the later middle period. Volume VI, including sonatas from the period between 1804 and 1810, offers some of the most famous and widely-known works together with an astonishing variety of forms and concepts, a constellation which, once again, highlights the attractiveness of Schiff s chronological approach.

 Rating:  - Some wonderful playing, but...I bought as much of this new series of Sonatas as I could get hold of after listening short excerpts. Mr Schiff provides quite a wonderful, new and fresh interpretation of these great works, but unfortunately he tends to spoil some of the wonder by literally hammering out his fortissimo passages in a way that might even surprise and upset those of us who value interpretation that is true to the presumed playing style prevalent during Beethoven's lifetime.

I highly recommend his lecture series, given at Wigmore Hall, and captured on the Guardian UK website. His in-depth exploration of these pieces is illuminating. I am most impressed in Schiff's passionate and pure takes on the lesser-known sonatas. His G Major Sonata, No 25, will thrill and delight the listener. I have nothing to say about the Appasionata - it is supremely played and lived. As for Les Adieux, the slow movement is heart-wrenching, and the last movement, the return, is a breath of fresh air. I cannot wait to hear these pieces live at Carnegie Hall this year. |
