content: For years, my touchstone recording of the 32 Beethoven Piano Sonatas has been the Arthur Schnabel 1930s version. I had always wanted sound on a par with the musicianship. However, Fleisher, my favorite "modern" Beethoven performer, although he has given us amazing performances of the piano concerti, never got to these before he was stricken.Have no fear. This is it! Frank's performance is wonderous. The desciple's musicianship is on a par with his mentor, and the sound lets me hear even more. It is even better than I hoped.
