"... Kodama’s outstanding Op. 101 is one of her cycle’s high points ... the sonics match the superb consistency distinguishing this series’ eight previous volumes."
- ClassicsToday.com
“... Kodama sets out to scale the Everest of Beethoven’s sonatas, the Hammerklavier. This is no undertaking for the physically weak, the psychologically timid, the musically unprepared, or the spiritually irresolute. Hers is an exceptionally lucid reading, one that lacks for nothing in determination and true grit, or in concentration ... this earns a well-deserved place in the winner’s circle.”
- Fanfare
Superstar pianist Mari Kodama ends her 10 year journey through the complete cycle of Beethoven's piano sonatas with perhaps the most challenging: the Piano Sonata No. 29 "Hammerklavier", called the Mount Everest of sonatas by Fanfare. On this album it is paired with another showcase for Kodama's ample talent, the Piano Sonata No. 28.
