DescriptionExcerpt

Composed near the end of Schubert's life, these two piano sonatas are part of an outpouring of instrumental music he composed between 1822 and his death in 1828, music that until recently remained far less popular than his celebrated opera and lieder. On this album, Goode brings to life works now considered among the composer's most important.

  • Richard Goode's Beethoven: The Complete Sonatas, first released on Nonesuch in 1993 and nominated for a Grammy Award, is available once again on CD, now at a new, lower price. 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." Gramophone says it's "one of the finest interpretations ever put on record."
