Who conventional piano CDs are too sterile, flat or just simply boring, finds colored, flowery and dynamic powerful piano playing here. A Beethoven, as he was alive never recorded. Some goof in there, along with a short entrainment button, that happens every pianist times, it contributes to the music. Something strengthened the live impression. The recordings are from 1965, 1986 and 1975 - in that order are the Sonatas No.27, 28 and 29 included in the hybrid SACD. The first two tracks I mean to hear a noise suppression effects, nevertheless the Steinway sounds fantastic.
