Beethoven: Piano Sonatas Opp. 54 & 78 - Rachmaninoff: Piano Sonata No. 2 Op. 36
The legendary and controversial pianist Ivo Pogorelich, newly signed to Sony Classical, releases his first commercial recording in more than 20 years. He performs two of Beethoven’s two-movement sonatas, the witty op. 54 in F major and the elegant and concise op. 78 in F sharp major, one of the composer’s own favourites. Pogorelich completes the album with his interpretation of Rachmaninoff’s rhapsodic, dramatic Sonata no. 2 in B flat minor.
