A beautiful version of supplement

Lintégrale of BEETHOVEN sonatas by Yves NAT has always been highly quoted on France, so what gives foreign commentators in the specialist press and among fans, indifferent, or somewhat doubtful about its features.
Maybe it's because what seems quite far from Beethoven has lon habit dentendre under the fingers of pianists of Austro-German school -Schnabel, Kempff, Brendel, Arrau, Gulda- or Russian -Gilels, Richter, Grinberg-?
Adept dune clear line and rather lively tempos, NAT does not in my opinion deserves the rave reviews here quon lends nor the relative neglect which he suffered elsewhere. We always hear, to say the least, beautiful versions but never memorable release. Only the interpretation of the terrible Sonata No. 29 "Hammerklavier" seems really missed, although the slow movement is very poetic.
The sound is decent -some saturations in the medium aigu- failing BE very nice, and very good and interesting blurb.

Ultimately a beautiful version of complement, but certainly not lintégrale priority in my ears!
