One of the largest

This integral is finally done us. This is one of the most beautiful, the most constant in intensity: Arrau neglects nothing. A hoard alongside Kempff and Nat. The first Beethoven sonata that I heard was the eighth of this integral Arrau in an anthology album, I forgot the rest of the program (an opening Egmont and romances for violin - perhaps with Grumiaux and I do not know which head because I misplaced that old vynile). I continued my discovery with Brendel, Richter at first, then more comprehensively with Nat, Backhaus, too forgotten Eric Heidsieck, Kempff, Gould (sometimes surprising - and in the best sense: the so-called pastoral sonata for example), etc., but Arrau wins with time as the truth in the sonatas by beethoven.
