Jonathan Biss continues his nine disc Beethoven Sonata cycle by presenting Volume 5, with a most unique perspective: "20 years, and an entire cosmos, separate these sonatas that bookend this recording. The evolution that takes place within Beethoven between the C Major Sonata, Opus 2, Number 3, and the A Major, Opus 101, is monumental, almost impossible to overstate: I struggle to think of an artist - not Picasso, not Schönberg, not Joyce - who changed so profoundly over the course of a working life. But what was the change, really?" Join in the answers Jonathan provides in this beautifully recorded performance sure to become a favorite.
