“A more auspicious start would be hard to imagine... Lewis's unalloyed musicianship and overall mastery are worth their weight in gold; every bar declares his calibre and generosity of spirit. Harmonia Mundi's sound is excellent and I can scarcely wait to hear the rest of this deeply serious and sensitive young pianist's epic undertaking.” The Gramophone, September 2005

Idil Biret (piano)

“Biret grasps the size of Beethoven’s style. The polyphony is laid out in a relaxed way with little indulgence in point making. She keeps the big line and yet is thankfully sparing in her use of fortissimos. The piano tone is sumptuous. Biret’s gentle and almost sensuous sonorities are really captivating. One is reminded that her mentor has been Wilhelm Kempff.” Gramophone

András Schiff (piano)

Live recording from Zurich’s Town Hall, produced by Manfred Eicher

“András Schiff leads the pack of top pianists recording Beethoven sonatas. His touch with these middle-period works is revelatory…” (Album of the Week, The Independent)

“The crowning glory in this fifth volume of András Schiff's resonantly recorded, chronological survey of the Beethoven sonatas is his urgently propelled Waldstein Sonata. Schiff clearly views this work as the piano equivalent to the Eroica Symphony, and uses maximum dynamic and textural contrast to emphasis its almost orchestral nature. ” BBC Music Magazine, November 2007 ****
