Piano Sonata No. 29 in B-Flat Major, Op. 106 "Hammerklavier"

Description

A new reference in the world of piano playing, Igor Levit has taken on the ambitious challenge of recording all 32 of Beethoven's sonatas, which he now presents in a landmark 9-CD box set. This monumental project, a true artistic tour de force, is one of the flagship projects celebrating the composer's 250th anniversary and will undoubtedly be a highlight of the pianist's young but already extensive discography. This discography also included Beethoven's last 5 sonatas, released in 2013 on his first Sony Classical album, which earned him praise from both the general and specialized press: the album, which became a benchmark for interpretations of Beethoven's sonatas, lauded him as "one of the essential artists of his generation" (The New York Times). This new box set, beyond its scope, is in terms of execution an even higher level than expected, and proves that it is now difficult to talk about classical piano without focusing on this brilliant artist. SONATA 106 "HAMMERKLAVIER" ALSO AVAILABLE AS A DOUBLE VINYL!
