About
This disc presents three wildly varied sonatas, performed by 2008 Grammy-winning pianist, Garrick Ohlsson.
Beethoven's Op. 22, composed at the turn of the century, uses traditional 18th century materials in a brand new way. Op. 27, No. 1, (Sonata Quasi una Fantasia) is an experiment in form, perhaps written in response to new sonatas by his older contemporaries Dussek and Clementi. Op. 110 is Beethoven's penultimate sonata, a richly inspired, mesmerizing masterpiece.
