Pianist Garrick Ohlsson, who won a Grammy for his 2008 recording of the complete Beethoven sonatas, brings his “inimitable blend of sensitivity and raw strength” (Cleveland Plain Dealer) to Beethoven’s most cherished sonatas. From the powerful “Pathétique” and dramatic “Appassionata” to the dazzling “Waldstein” and lyrical “Moonlight,” Ohlsson’s deep emotive force is perfectly suited to Beethoven’s timeless—and temperamental—masterworks.
