Synopsis

Album Description

Throughout his distinguished career, Gerhard Oppitz has established his deep understanding of Beethoven's idiom and now brings a lifetime of experience to commit these works to disc in a series of complete recordings. Oppitz is one of today's leading exponents of the German school of classical piano. His mentor, the great German pianist Wilhelm Kempff, personally designated him as heir-apparent to the tradition. The current program features a trio of sonatas from Beethoven's middle, or "heroic," period, and are essentials of the piano literature.
