Notes & Reviews:

"[Claude] Frank has a particularly endearing ability to communicate the essence of a phrase or segment, or to make the structure of an entire movement lucid to the listener in a revealing, often unexpected way. These things make his Beethoven sonatas a joy to hear; they are performances that will not pall and will expose something new on each rehearing." - Mulbury, ARG

Acclaimed by TIME magazine and all major trade journals when first released on LPs, this set has been a Music & Arts international bestseller since its CD release in 1990. It has been unavailable during most of 2008 and has just been reissued. It will make an ideal Christmas present.
