DescriptionExcerpt

From 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."

The box set includes ten individual CD sleeves and a forty-page booklet with the original liner note by the late musicologist Michael Steinberg. "An outstanding set," exclaims the New York Times. "It is hard to think of any other artist at once technically, temperamentally and intellectually as suited to the challenges of these sonatas." The Guardian calls it "superb."
