András Schiff plays the Beethoven Sonata Cycle October 12, 2008

To experience Beethoven’s piano Sonatas is to understand his far-reaching impacts on music, culture, and the modern musical mind.

András Schiff continues his two-year cycle from last year with the second half of Beethoven’s profoundly innovative output. Schiff’s recordings of all of Beethoven’s 32 Piano Sonatas are considered among the finest on disc.

"András Schiff’s recital was one of the great musical events of the season.”—Washington Post
