A chance to enjoy the varied glories of Beethoven's piano sonatas played by one of the composer's most respected interpreters. Francois-Frederic Guy has chosen three especially popular and fascinating works. Guy's recording of the groundbreaking, mysterious and immensely dynamic Hammerklavier Sonata has been selected as the best available by BBC Radio 3's Building A Library, and the Washington Post wrote: ?This was worshipful Beethoven, Great-Man Beethoven, with the quirks and foibles smoothed away or elevated... into a kind of divine frenzy... there was no denying the power and authority of Guy's performance.'
