Beethoven: The Late Piano Sonatas
Igor Levit has given highly-accliamed debuts in major musical centers all over Europe and is being hailed by international critics as one of the most oustanding pianists of our time. His debut album includes Beethoven's much-revered five late sonatas, opp. 101, 106 and 109-111. Levit's interpretations display extraordinary depth, balance, and technical and interpretative skill. Written between 1816 and 1822 when the composer was completely deaf, Beethoven's last sonatas are highly artistic and personal compositions and Levit conveys the beautiful writing in this natural and captivating performance.
