Ludwig van Beethoven
Sonates vol. 1
 François-Frédéric Guy


ZZT 111101 - 3 CDs
Published on 10-2011



Beethoven constantly calls into question and modifies the notion of time in sonata form. He never repeats himself. The thirty-two sonatas are like a voyage of initiation that runs throughout his creative career, displaying his endlessly inventive imagination.

After Liszt’s Harmonies poétiques et religieuses and Sonata in B minor, François-Frédéric Guy offers us a complete cycle of Beethoven’s 32 sonatas, recorded in public at the Arsenal in Metz. This set is the first volume.

 

‘To play the complete Beethoven sonatas in public represents the most exhilarating project I have attempted, a tremendous artistic and human challenge. Beethoven explores sonic and poetic regions that in my view still remain, even in the early twenty-first century, his “exclusive territory”.’

François Frédéric Guy
