Impetuous, ambitious, unaware of her naïveté, recorded over two months in the summer of 2011, HJ Lim presents a complete Beethoven sonata cycle, choc full of opinions. And that is consists of four volumes each titled, somewhat bathetic: Monumental, Beethoven Debut, Fantasia, and Ultima. It will be followed by a DVD-cycle recorded live at the 2014 Salzburg Festival.įrankly: all I know is that it exists. Recorded live at the Semperoper in Dresden, 30 years after he recorded his first cycle for Telefunken. The complete set, released late 2012, contains regular, "Red Book", CDs and does not apparently contain the Diabelli Variations.Īvailability (in eight individual volumes, imported): The cycle, except for volume 1, which holds the Diabelli Variations, was released on SACDs. Michael Korstick, one of the premiere Nicolas Sarkozy impersonators when he’s not busy playing the piano, has been recording on his cycle since 1997 and finished in 2011. The set, which has exemplary liner notes-little essays for each sonata by Bryce Morrison, Beryl Chempin, and William Kinderman, also includes the rarely recorded op.6 Sonata for Four Hands.īy all appearances a vanity-release by or for the pianist, recorded in Belgium and the US in 2010. Almost as if they were contractually obliged to give Lortie a happy end, cleaning house before Jean-Efflam Bavouzet got to take a crack at the full Ludwig on the label.
until, seemingly out of nowhere, Chandos remembered the project late in 2009 and hurried it to an end when it recorded the 8 outstanding Sonatas and published the whole thing in a box. Louis Lortie got started in the early nineties on this cycle, with discs released individually, and worked on it until 2000 and then it went nowhere.
