A collection of early sonatas in which the maestro Richter honed the ambition of the young Beethoven with his powerful keystrokes.
Sviatoslav Richter takes on Beethoven's early masterpieces, the Third and Fourth Symphonies, and with his meticulous construction and overwhelming keystrokes, he vividly brings out the aggressive attitude and pure lyricism inherent in the works, creating a recording that is alive with the contrast between intensity and serenity.
Svyatoslav Richter's Beethoven performances are renowned for their keen grasp of the structure of the works and unwavering concentration, and this recording of these two sonatas clearly demonstrates this appeal. In the Third Sonata, clear articulation creates momentum in the fast movement, highlighting even the inner voices. In the following Fourth Sonata, his sense of scale is impressive, naturally portraying the work's breadth, from the profound serenity of the slow movement to the light and airy flow of the finale. The tonal changes are meticulously arranged throughout, and Richter's powerful keystrokes persuasively bring to life the expansive ideas of the young Beethoven.
