About

Paul Lewis performed all the Beethoven piano sonatas on tour in the USA and Europe between 2005 and 2007 seasons, in parallel with his already acclaimed complete recording of the cycle for harmonia mundi.

This is the third installment in the cycle that critics have predicted will become benchmark recordings.

Also available:

HMC901902 Beethoven Vol. 1
"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

HMC901903/05 Beethoven Vol. 2
"Faced with such excellence a mere critic can only abandon paper and pencil and listen to this heroic but deeply moving young artist with awe and amazement. These are early days but Paul Lewis's superbly recorded and presented Beethoven may well turn out to be the most musicianly and ultimately satisfying of all recorded Beethoven piano sonata cycles." CD of the Month, Gramophone Editor's Choice, December 2006
