"... Kodama is on the way to present a modern, timeless recording of Beethoven’s piano sonatas which can claim the title reference recording now."
- Pizzicato
Japanese pianist Mari Kodama dedicated 10 years of her career to performing and recording the complete cycle of Beethoven's piano sonatas, a project that yielded nine albums and made her only the fourth woman to have recorded all of Beethoven's sonatas. On this installment from 2006, she includes the Piano Sonata No. 16, the Piano Sonata No. 17 "Tempest" along with the Piano Sonata No.18 "The Hunt"; the idea that an artist can play this music and still introduce a new perspective, as Kodama so often does, is astonishing.
