Beethoven's piano sonatas are widely referred to as the New Testament in keyboard composition after the "Old" in the vein of Bach. These "name" sonatas are, by virtue of how they are referred to, some of the best known music period. If you have never heard this music then you simply must and this is a great opportunity.
In regards to interpretation however I feel that Brendel misrepresents Beethoven. Beethoven was a fiery revolutionary but you would never guess that after listening to ... Read More

Philips collected/published everybody's favorite B's piano sonatas played by a beloved Beethoven pianist with an affordable price. Each person has a preference about who plays what....but I am staying with what I grew up with. Alfred Brendel brings out what (I imagine) a willful German composer created with his strong method. No sentiment or excessive fluency that shows the pianist's technical supremacy is present. I love it when musicians play for the composer rather than for themselves.

There is some wonderful Beethoven playing to be heard in this set. In matters of light and shade, expansive tempos and luminious piano poetics, Brendel has got what it takes. His best performances here are clearly the Pastoral, the Tempest and perhaps the Les Adieux. The Pastoral especially requires patience and imagination which Brendel delivers. The famous Tempest finale is not rushed, but handled warmly and most beautifully. Brendel's Waldstein Sonata is not among the best but it's adequate.

I recently heard Brendel's 70s recordings of the "famous" Beethoven sonatas first time in quite a few years (I heard them before). Initially, I was not moved. It sounded like he was just playing the notes. As I listened more attentively, however, I started to get impressed. Clarity is the key word here - the clarity of playing and intention. No detail is too small to Brendel. Every marking by the composer (staccato, legato, crescendo, decrescendo, diminuendo, etc) is observed with utmost care. He is ... Read More

When I found this recording in my library I was sourprised: The most beloved sonatas of Beethoven, played by a pianist I appreciate so much. How could I forget I own it?
I listened again, and understood. The sonatas are wounderful, but the playing is at most OK, and these works deserve much more. Almost every piece here has at least one much better performance: I prefer, for instance Gilels for the Appasionata, Rubinstein for the Pathetique, and Barenboim for the Les Adieux. This recording simply ... Read More
