CD Reviews

A superb artist of the piano!

"
Egon Petri' s pianism is narrowly bounded with a tradition personified by the enigmatic Ferrucio Busoni,. From him and because of his expressive fingering, he made to sound the piano as an orchestral instrument, achieving "the total sound" with its bitterness, tremolos and arpeggios endowed of cavernous intensity and sinister fascination.

This approach in Beethoven is valid because being Beethoven' s dissonances, bitter and rough, we may realize ourselves about many details which live bellow the score.

Additionally, the last piano sonatas of Beethoven are featured by the fact the middle section of the piano is almost ignored, that's why the extremes are so important and in hands of Petri acquire (if I may) another dimension.

Although Petri is not historically regarded as one the supreme voices of Bonn's prodigal son, "the sound" of these emblematic pieces of the late Beethoven makes of this recording must-have.

Absolutely rewarding!

"I find the recording wonderful. Any young musician would hear how the composer intented the pieced to be played. The pianist did his homework.
