Description

Only a few musicians in the world are as familiar with Ludwig van Beethoven's piano sonatas as Daniel Barenboim, who has repeatedly engaged with these works since the beginning of his career. Barenboim recorded the entire cycle of Beethoven's sonatas in 2020, in the midst of the Corona period, at the Pierre Boulez Saal in Berlin. Both his decades of experience and the calm and time brought about by the Corona restrictions flowed into these recordings. They have thus become a summary of a life with Beethoven's music.
