About

Hanssler Classic is proud to announce the latest volume of the major new Beethoven Sonata cycle, performed by Gerhard Oppitz.
 
The current programme includes a quartet of Beethoven works spanning the years from 1809 to 1816. Included is the concise and playful Sonata in G Major op.79, the programmatic 'Les Adieux' and the unusual and foward-looking Sonata in E Minor op.90.
 
The crowning jewel, however, must be the late Sonata in A Major op.101. Composed in 1816 and described by Beethoven as 'a series of impressions and reveries', it is a work which clearly marks the transition from the style of the earlier piano sonatas into a more personal and intimate realm of freedom and fantasy.
