Beethoven: Piano Sonatas Nos.27-29

The fifth release in Praga's Richter Edition, which presents SACD remasters of classic albums by the great Russian pianist Sviatoslav Richter, features live recordings of Beethoven sonatas from the 60s and 70s. This disc includes three of the 'late' sonatas, including a particularly memorable Hammerklavier. The program also features the Piano Sonatas Nos.27 and 28 in performances that simultaneously emphasize the legato elements and display Richter's prodigious interpretive talents to the fullest.
