Jonathan Biss (piano)About
The American pianist begins with a masterwork of Beethoven’s early creative period, the Sonata no.7 in D major, op.10 no.3. Its stop-start finale, punctuated by silences, prefaces a compelling interpretation of the Sonata no.18 in E flat major, op.31 no.3, a work that blends unsettling introspection and playful high spirits. Biss ends his Beethoven odyssey with the Sonata no.32 in C minor, op.111, the composer’s farewell to the genre.
“It is a beautiful irony that these pieces feature so many more questions than they do answers – that they offer so much more uncertainty than certainty,” observes Jonathan Biss in his eloquent essay for the album’s booklet. “It is especially fascinating given that this is Beethoven, of all people: a composer of unmatched inner conviction and intensity. And yet, ultimately, this music is as much about his vulnerability as it is about his strength.”
