Lang Lang plays Beethoven sonatas

Lang Lang proves that he is one of the greatest pianists of our time with the works on this Beethoven album. And he plays the 3rd Sonata in C major, which Beethoven dedicated to the composer Joseph Haydn, and the famous Sonatas No. 23 “Appassionata” and No. 17 “Sturm” not only technically brilliantly, but also in a successful mixture of classical arrangement and youthful drive. Beethoven’s third sonata sounds strict and clear in his interpretation, in the slow movement of the “Appassionata” he lets the listener forget the world around him, it sounds so atmospheric and touching with fantastic timbres, while in the fast movement he overwhelms with technical power, joy of playing and virtuosity. The “Sturm” Sonata also makes all the advantages of his playing clear: slightly springy, but also dynamic and with passion.
