This is the second volume of Harmonia Mundi's recordings of Paul Lewis' live performances of the complete Beethoven piano sonatas, played throughout the UK, Europe and the USA over a two year period.

Paul Lewis' exceptional musicianship and self-effacing style saw his profile increase during the first concerts, aided by his appearance on the Last Night of the Proms 2005.

Volume I (a Daily Telegraph 'Best Classical Releases 2005') was warmly and unanimously acclaimed by the international press, as have previous recitals of Schubert and Liszt. "A more auspicious start would be hard to imagine. Lewis's unalloyed musicianship and overall mastery are worth their weight in gold…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." Gramophone Editor's Choice

"Lewis has been living and breathing these sonatas in concert and it shows…I, for one, can't wait for the next instalment." BBC Radio 3
