Daniel Barenboim - Beethoven:Piano Sonatas 14-21 - Naxos Deutschland

In the third of five DVD releases, seven-time GRAMMY Award-winning pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim plays the Piano Sonatas 14 - 21 of Ludwig von Beethoven's thirty-two piano sonatas, the so-called "New Testament" of music. Composed over twenty-five years and embodying the shift of musical taste from the Classic to the Romantic, their performance requires a musician of extraordinary versatillity. Barenboim is one such pianist - his recordings run the gamut from Bach and Mozart to Bruckner and Bartok. In following in the footsteps of such masters as Artur Schnabel, Barenboim truly shows himself to be among the greatest living musicians.
