Sonatas No. 5 "Spring" & No. 9 "Kreutzer Sonata"

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Yehudi Menuhin & Wilhelm Kempff

This release is a recording of two piano sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1800 and 1803. Musically they illustrate Beethoven's transition from Classical forms towards a more expansive, expressive language, with heightened technical demands, pronounced contrasts and extended formal development that signal his move into the middle period of his output.
