Beethoven: The Complete Piano Sonatas - Schnabel (8 CDs)

Beethoven: Piano Sonatas Nos. 1-32

Artur Schnabel (piano)

Artur Schnabel's complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas, recorded between 1932 and 1938, constitute a monument of the catalogue. In 1937 Gramophone wrote: “To [his] technical mastery Schnabel adds and fuses an intensely intelligent, not merely "intellectual" mind set. The result is a perfectly blended interpretation of the music as a spiritual expression and as a musical organism. Newly remastered from the original 78s, these legendary recordings can now be enjoyed in audio of unprecedented truthfulness and quality.
