Customer Beethoven: Piano Sonatas Reviews 




Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

5 stars Classical Beethoven Piano Playing
Arthur Rubinstein plays these "named" sonatas in a very plain, straight, and un-nuanced manner...that is to say, he lets Beethoven's music speak for itself, and it does that gorgeously under his hands. I haven't heard these interpretations for ages, and find they simply aren't likely to be bettered. Additionally, the piano recording from the early 1970s is amazingly clear, and while not quite up to the best of today's standards, are very clean and well-recorded. Want to introduce someone to the beauty of classical music? Buy this CD for them and you will be deemed a benefactor!

5 stars Rubenstein and SACD, what more could you want?
SACD, for those with players that utilize the extended dynamic range, have far more presence and depth than CDs, and Rubinstein was certaintly among the top handful of pianists of all time. So the programming consists of warhorses, but these sonatas are popular for a reason. I have no regrets about adding these recordings to other versions I already had. They are magical. The sensitivity of touch is just unbelieveable.

3 stars Elegant
Beautiful phrasing and sounding great. Does not reach the dynamic intensity of, say, Paul Lewis or Alfredo Perl, but very enjoyable nonetheless.

5 stars Refined and honest
These sonatas are great, but Rubinstein makes them not 10 times as big as they are. All nuances come off very well. Good sound. A beautiful cd at bargain price.

Vladimir Sidorov Boite Aÿ Musique CD  (2006)

Beethoven: Piano Sonatas
CD $14.79
Well before he received his masters in Music at the Astrakhan State Conservatory (Russia) in 1994, Vladimir Sidorov had charmed audiences with his virtuosity and the finesse of his interpretations. Upon completion of his studies, he was awarded the highly coveted title of “Concert Musician”. Sidorov began his international solo career in 1997 with a tour of Hungary, Croatia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, moving to Montréal later the same year. In 2001, he recorded his first solo album, and later took part in a Hindemith concert with the musicians of the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal under the direction of Charles Dutoit. Among other activities that year, he was also invited to join the Orchestre symphonique de Québec for a work by conductor Yoav Talmi. In 2002, he composed the music for a work by choreographer Laurence Lemieux inspired by Dostoyevsky’s novel Poor Folk that toured to Montréal, Québec City and Saint Petersburg. In 2003, Sidorov encountered percussionist Marie-Josée Simard with whom he developed an original program for a previously non-existent type of ensemble (Bayan, vibraphone and percussion). Together, the duo performed a 12-concert tour of the province of Quebec, and recorded a CD entitled Rencontre on the Tout Crin label.Vladimir Sidorov’s broad repertoire ranges from classical to contemporary, and includes his own compositions and transcriptions for the bayan. He is a frequently invited soloist with numerous musical ensembles, both in Canada and Russia.
