Music reviews of Beethoven: The Piano Sonatas Vol. VI
Music Review: Some wonderful playing, but...
Rating: 4 Stars
I bought as much of this new series of Sonatas as I could get hold of after listening short excerpts. Mr Schiff provides quite a wonderful, new and fresh interpretation of these great works, but unfortunately he tends to spoil some of the wonder by literally hammering out his fortissimo passages in a way that might even surprise and upset those of us who value interpretation that is true to the presumed playing style prevalent during Beethoven's lifetime.
Playing is (as mentioned by another reviewer) sometimes unexpectedly sluggish.
The thing that clearly stands out is his playing of the slower movements which are crisp, but gentle with wonderful consideration of melodic lines.
But this collection of discs will probably do for the Beethoven Piano Sonatas what Anne-Sophie Mutter and Lambert Orkis did for the Beethoven Violin sonatas with their recent recordings which are loved by some and despised by some.
Description of Beethoven: The Piano Sonatas Vol. VI
Andr?s Schiff s Beethoven cycle, recorded live in chronological order at Tonhalle Zurich, continues to collect critical praise as it moves forward to thelater middle period. Volume VI, including sonatas from the period
between 1804 and 1810, offers some of the most famous and widely-known works together with an astonishing variety of forms and concepts, a
constellation which, once again, highlights the attractiveness of Schiff s chronological approach.
