About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Classical
- Description: Jonathan Biss concludes his nine-year, nine-volume exploration of Beethoven's piano sonatas with a recording for our times, one that asks profound questions about mankind's fragile existence. The final album in his critically acclaimed cycle, set for on Orchid Classics, brings together three works that each stand as the last of a group of three sonatas. The American pianist begins with a masterwork of Beethoven's early creative period, the Sonata No.7 in D major, Op.10 No.3. It's stop-start finale, punctuated by silences, prefaces a compelling interpretation of the Sonata No.18 in E flat major, Op.31 No.3, a work that blends unsettling introspection and playful high spirits. Biss ends his Beethoven odyssey with the Sonata No.32 in C minor Op.111, the composer's farewell to the genre. InchIt is a beautiful irony that these pieces feature so many more questions than they do answers - that they offer so much more uncertainty than certainty,Inch observes Jonathan Biss in his eloquent essay for the album's booklet. InchIt is especially fascinating given that this is Beethoven, of all people a composer of unmatched inner conviction and intensity. And yet, ultimately, this music is as much about his vulnerability as it is about his strength.Inch

![Wilhelm Furtwangler - Beethoven: The 9 Symphonies - SUPER-AUDIO CD [Super Audio CD (SACD)]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/4e2b42e4-2f44-4010-adb5-0b6d1930c90b.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Beethoven was Wilhelm Furtwängler's guiding musical force. In his interpretations of the symphonies, the conductor generates irresistible dramatic momentum - and a constant sense of imaginative freshness - through the interrelationship of form, harmony, texture, rhythm and tempo. These recordings, all made in the late 1940s and early 1950s, in the Musikverein in Vienna and at concerts in London, Bayreuth and Stockholm, have been remastered in 192kHz/24-bit at Art & Son Studio (in 2021 for the 7 recordings included in The Complete Wilhelm Furtwängler on Records and newly for this edition for the 3 other ones), bringing their sound more alive than ever before and for the first time here on a physical medium.As a bonus the 5th Symphony live performance from 1950 in Copenhagen restored in HD from an excellent condition analogue source has been added.
