Awards and reviews

12th February 2003

It's curious, but however well you think you know these sonatas, the freshness and incisiveness of Pizarro's playing somehow takes you unawares. From the almost unfeasibly grave Grave introduction to the Pathétique to the torrential outbursts in the finale of the Appassionata, Pizarro shows how well he understands Beethoven
Andrew McGregor

An exceptional album of Beethoven from a rising young pianist - one to watch.
