Following her acclaimed release of Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations on Odradek, Muriel Chemin returns with an even more ambitious recording encompassing the Complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas. This phenomenal recording is a true labour of love, in which Muriel Chemin brings her “clarity, precision, dynamism and artistic authoritativeness” (Repertoire) and her “combination of rigour, richness and analytical awareness” (Le Monde de la Musique) to Beethoven’s 32 sonatas. As Chemin writes in her Artist Statement, a feature of the album booklet, “the opportunity to climb a peak of this importance is a huge privilege for a pianist both as a performer and as an interpreter.” Beethoven has been a constant presence in Muriel Chemin’s life ever since, at the age of seven, she first heard his music and began to listen to it frequently and with utter absorption. This love of Beethoven deepened as her career flourished, culminating in the profoundly personal interpretations on this collection. Chemin does not seek to offer an analytical overview of these sonatas, but rather takes each work on its own terms, relating it to its historical context, from fugal writing that harks back to the Baroque, to the structural integration of works such as the ‘Hammerklavier’ which anticipate the revolutionary developments of the 20th century. Muriel Chemin brings her passion and integrity to this scintillating music, offering the listener an intimate insight into Beethoven’s piano sonatas as they chart the trajectory of his extraordinary musical evolution.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
