Ludwig Van Beethoven - Piano Sonatas - Apex

The Moonlight Sonata, Pathétique, Appassionata, and more. Maria Joao Pires is a pianist with a more ideal command of Chopin's style. Pires trips through the roulades with filigree dexterity, but her tone is so thoughtful, serious and weighty that they arrive with immense emotional profundity.
