These exceptional performances received widespread critical acclaim upon their original digital release, and this premiere 9-disc boxed set includes extended personal and informative booklet notes written by the pianist. From the vivid energy of the early sonatas, through the dark passions and enchanted lyricism of Beethoven’s middle period, to the awe-inspiring transcendence of the final sonatas - this cycle runs the full gamut of human emotion.

What a warm-hearted man. One would forget he is also one of the greatest pianists.

Благодарю за видео! Гильтбург - великий пианист!

Enjoyed the contrast of thought in describing the second movement between the "parody of opera" and the "ballet for the fingers".

Bravissimo interprete di Beethoven

[@julieconnard4372]

I love this sonata, as I love all the Beethoven sonatas. And I love Boris' playing, which is both maximally sensitive and maximally virtuosic. But I have a new love - Boris' wonderful talks about each piece, complete with demonstrations. In this one in particular his infectious delight, especially in the first and third movements, is so joyful and loving . . . I have to stop myself from listening to it all over again. Boris Giltburg, you're keeping me from sleeping (and I wouldn't have it any other way).
