Beethoven’s 32 piano sonatas are frequently called “the New Testament of piano music.” The works span the composer’s life, and reflect his development as a person and composer. For the first time, the entire cycle has been performed at the Salzburg Festival. For this feat, Beethoven expert Rudolf Buchbinder performs. This recording includes two concerts which feature sonatas 3, 6, 7, 16, 19, 24, 26, 28, and 29.
