5.0 out of 5 stars
Worth the price just for the "Hammerklavier", May 17, 2006
This review is from: Beethoven: Piano Sonatas 26, 27 & 29 (Audio CD)
This is beautiful music making and a fine testament to Solomon's playing. Some have found the sound quality to be problematic, but I have to say that after a few seconds it is hard not to simply get caught up in the poetry and forget about sound quality. I do not have other versions of these recordings so I cannot say whether this is the best release to purchase, but I understand the EMI issues (on Amazon: ASIN B000002S4V) are less friendly on the ear. Whatever the case, I would not be without this recording of the "Hammerklavier" which some who are better qualified to judge have rated as well-nigh definitive. Enjoy!
