Additional information:
Beethoven, Piano Sonatas/ Gulda
"A complete set by the legendary and somewhat rebellious Austrian virtuoso pianist and philosopher, who was also a composer and a performer of jazz music.
"Beethovens piano sonates comprise the composers entire life and develop from standard classical works to visionary and almost epic ones like his final sonata Opus 111.
"Beethoven was one of Guldas specialties. His complete Beethoven sonata cycle of 1967 has achieved a certain cult status today. Sometime his performances were called "cool", but this coolness only masked a deep inner commitment to the works in question.
"This restless musician might have been helped by his Viennese roots especially when performing the Viennese classical composers. Gulda was always in search of new expressive possibilities and without a doubt succeeded in bridging the wide gap between two almost opposite domains.
