Arcades Project
Originally posted by Brassbandmaestro View PostAh, Arcades Project, what would you choose though?
Can't say. If Pollini ever records the sonatas not in his discography & DG put them in a box probably that. Otherwise Gulda (Orfeo) or András Schiff. But I think Schiff is a minority taste (& the CDs are only available individually. In one fell swoop they would be a very expensive prospect. I got them as they appeared).

I wish that Murray Perahia would record more Beethoven piano sonatas but I guess that it is a vain hope
Does anyone know the cycle by Louis Lortie?
The studio cycle by Yves Nat is worth investigating as is the ropily recorded set by Dino Ciani.

A few names to start the ball rolling;
Ashkenazy, Arrau, Kempff, Barenboim, Kovacevich.......
Interesting that you mention Ashkenazy - I don't think I've ever seen much enthusiasm on these boards for his Beethoven. Is he underrated?"Not too heavy on the banjos." E. Morecambe

However, Paul Lewis would probably be my overall choice. Can I have his 'Diabelli Variations' as well?

Since then I've bought the Staier on fortepiano - now that really is something to get excited about!I keep hitting the Escape key, but I'm still here!
