CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Robert Taub, a young American pianist, performed all the Beethoven Sonatas at Princeton and recorded them for these ultra-cheap CDs. This set (Volume 2) is uneven. The three Sonatas of Op. 10 go together very well as a program, so I'm glad they are all on one disc. They are successful performances; Taub sings Beethoven's slow movements affectingly and communicates the sense of play in the faster movements. He does the same for the seldom-played, quirky No. 16. The famous Pathétique Sonata sometimes strains for effects, and I don't think Taub is certain what he wants to convey in No. 28. But there is more than enough well-played Beethoven in the set for the price. --Leslie Gerber Similar CDs

CD ReviewsTaub's Beethoven CDs are fresh and wonderful 10/26/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "From the way Taub plays it is clear that he loves this music - this makes it fresh and exciting for the listeners. I think his playing of the Pathetique Sonata is amongst the most exciting I've ever heard, with driving rhythms in the first movement and lyrical, beautiful second and third movements. The Sonatas of Opus 10 are all so good - each one well-defined and exciting. Taub plays the piano brilliantly and I just love listening to his CDs. I'm buying the rest of this set now."
