Appassionata / Waldstein / The Tempest

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Fazıl Say

This release is a collection of piano sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven composed between 1801 and 1807. The works exemplify Beethoven's middle-period expansion of piano writing, increasing technical demands and formal scope while employing stark dynamic contrasts, motivic development and adventurous harmonic language that helped shape the early Romantic piano repertoire.
First released: 11th October 2005
