Synopsis

Album Description

VQR Digital masters are engineered in spaces - usually concert halls, auditoriums or cathedrals - which are selected for acoustical characteristics best suited to the ensemble and the music being recorded. The goal of the recording process is to achieve an intimate focus on the instruments and a transparent rendition of performance within the favorable acoustics of the selected space. The minimal editing on this CD was mostly to remove intrusive noises. No sounds were altered or created by digital manipulation.

CD Reviews

Everything a Beethoven recording should be.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a beautiful disc! Perrone's performance has all of the facets one would hope for in a Beethoven piano recording. She exhibits power and virtuosity in the demanding, explosive passages of the 2nd and 4th bagatelles and in the more technically difficult of the Diabelli Variations. And her ability to express Beethoven's elegance in the more lyrical and delicate passages is truly world-class. There are many fine examples--the 31st Diabelli Variation is especially breathtaking. But it is not only the playing that makes this disc worth having--it is also extremely well produced. The sound is clear and resonant in all registers, and the liner notes will satisfy even serious students of music theory.This ranks among the finest Beethoven solo piano recordings I have heard. (This is no exaggeration! Listen for yourself!) I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who loves good music."
