{"product_id":"awadagin-pratt-beethoven-piano-sonatas","title":"Awadagin Pratt: Beethoven Piano Sonatas","description":"Amazon.com\n\nHere's a disc that really throws down the gauntlet! Beethoven's late piano sonatas have an almost mythical reputation for sublime obscurity. That doesn't mean they don't get played, but rather that performers (and critics) tend to treat them with a seriousness not always supported by the music itself, which is frequently intimate, playful, and charming. In coupling two late sonatas with two earlier ones, Pratt demonstrates both the consistency of Beethoven's musical thought, and also makes a strong case for the late sonatas being far more approachable than most people think. He plays these two late works with the same sort of robust freshness and unaffected musicality that he lavishes on the two earlier ones, and the result is highly engaging. --David Hurwitz\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000002RUP\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000002RUP.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ludwig van Beethoven|Awadagin Pratt\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
