Marking Beethoven’s 250th birthday in a suitably heroic fashion, Fazıl Say has recorded all 32 of the composer’s piano sonatas. He sees the sonatas as “a sacred text for musicians” and Beethoven as “A revolutionary composer starting to create music 50 to 100 years ahead of its time."
This release contains an abridged volume from Fazil Say's remarkable achievement. The complete collection is also available in the ProStudioMasters online store.
“When we interpret a composer’s work, we need to remain faithful to it. In other words, we need to feel like a composer. Compositions should be interpreted with the same freshness as a completely new piece of music that has just been created.”
