La Neue Zürcher Zeitung describes the Swiss pianist See Siang Wong as a "sensitive sound painter." For Beethoven's 250th anniversary, he presents a captivating album bringing together some of Beethoven's lesser-known piano works: the Piano Sonata No. 13 in E-flat major "Quasi una fantasia" and the Fantasy in G minor Op. 77, both for solo piano. In addition, he has recorded the Fantasy in C minor for piano, choir, and orchestra Op. 80 with the Wiener Singverein and the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Leo Hussain. In his fantastic sonatas, Beethoven unleashes form and dispenses with the conventional structure of the sonata. The different movements follow one another without interruption and harmonize in the manner of a fantasy, thus forming a unique and unified structure. The album also includes one of Beethoven's most famous piano works, the Moonlight Sonata.
