Beethoven: Complete Piano Sonatas

Released in 2019 as one of the major commemorations of Beethoven’s 250th anniversary, and now available in immersive Spatial Audio, these epic performances set a towering standard. Levit—one of today’s most thoughtful and adventurous musicians—infuses the piano sonatas with fantasy, vitality, and huge emotional power. This collection of 32 works, spanning a period of 27 years, is central to Beethoven’s monumental, often revolutionary output—surely one of the most impressive bodies of work ever created. Levit has played the sonatas many times in concert, and he brings that experience to these authoritative studio recordings.

Levit scales the heights over nine CDs, though excessive speed means musical sense is lost in some sonatas
