Beethoven: Piano Sonatas Nos. 5, 8 (Pathetique), 32 / Kvapil

Three major sonatas from Beethoven’s unrivalled body of work for that instrument, all in C Minor. Radoslav Kvapil is considered the finest exponent of Czech piano music... A performer with such a specialized repertoire is often unfairly ‘tagged’ with the erroneous reputation of not playing anything else, and Kvapil’s present release of three Beethoven piano sonatas will certainly correct that idea.
