About

Ludwig van Beethoven is probably one of the most interpreted composers of all time. Especially in the Beethoven year 2020 there are countless releases of his well-known works. For his new album, pianist Matthias Kirschnereit has therefore set himself the challenge of exploring and recording the unknown jewels of Beethoven’s piano music:

“My aim in this album is to take works by Beethoven that are not generally familiar and give them new lustre (I hope!). Pieces, that is, that do not necessarily set out to change the world. I am no archaeologist; my task is not to rummage in attics or search libraries and archives for hitherto unpublished works. Everything has long been in print, as my intensive collaboration with the publishers Henle and Wiener Urtext Edition has confirmed. So I started looking at what I could put together on this CD – and I was simply amazed.”

The album contains 17 pieces from Beethoven's entire life. Works from his childhood as well as the probably last musical thoughts.

Matthias Kirschnereit already released many albums on Berlin Classics.
