«The seven pianists on this recording seem to be inspired by their instruments without being burdened by the significance and magnitude of their enterprise. Listening is a true pleasure in this expedition into new musical realms.» This beautiful edition contains more than 11 1/2 hours of music and is accompanied by a fascinating, extensively illustrated booklet nearly 200 pages in length with an introduction by Malcolm Bilson and texts by the pianists about the works in three languages.

«The Bonn and the early sonatas, for example, are performed on instruments from Mozart’s era, thereby profiting from very bright, precisely nuanced, and at times ringing sonorities. The later sonatas, on the other hand, are much more massive, yet filled with warmer colors and, at times, with unusual details, e.g., the rather abrupt pedaling of these older instruments produces sforzato effects that are impossible to achieve on modern instruments, in any case, one never hears them.

The brilliantly recorded 10 CDs and the exemplary organized accompanying booklet invite to a more profound study of the fascinating universe of Beethoven’s piano sonatas. It is exciting to observe how the same instrument can produce completely different sonorities in the hands of different pianists, or how two pianists can interpret two chronologically similar sonatas in very different and yet equally convincing manners.»
