Synopsis

Amazon.com
This is a sample from an ongoing series of Beethoven sonatas by the Argentine pianist Bruno-Leonardo Gelber. Since I once heard him play a rather heroic performance of the Brahms First Piano Concerto, a tremendous physical and musical challenge to any pianist, I am surprised by the mild temperament displayed in these emotionally cautious performances. Where, for example, is the brio in the finale of the Sixth Sonata? Here it just goes along uneventfully. No matter how well played these performances are, the music just isn't there. Goode (Nonesuch), among others, gives us Beethoven with guts. --Leslie Gerber
