About this Album

Composed in Beethoven's "middle period," the Appassionata and Waldstein sonatas represent some of the composer's greatest writing for solo piano. The San Diego Union-Tribune hailed the "flawless technique" and "structural command" presented here, saying "Goode's interpretations are marked by such fluidity that he might as well be improvising in the style of Beethoven."
