Ludwig van Beethoven wrote his 32 piano sonatas between 1795 and 1822. Although originally not intended to be a meaningful whole, as a set they compose one of the most important collections of works in the history of music. Hans von Bülow called them "The New Testament" of the piano literature (Johann Sebastian Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier being "The Old Testament").

Pollini's unparalleled mid-Seventies recordings of the late piano sonatas have long been my reference recordings, but I jumped at the opportunity to hear Richter's live "Hammerklavier" when this archival release appeared in 2012. Richter (1915-1997) was recorded live at Royal Festival Hall in London on June 18, 1975.

This album has an average beat per minute of 113 BPM (slowest/fastest tempos: 78/174 BPM). See its BPM profile at the bottom of the page. Recent albums by Ludwig van Beethoven.
