Beethoven Sonatas

Sonatas Opus 10 no. 3, Opus 57 ‘Appassionata’, Opus 110 played by Naum Grubert.

In the liner notes pianist Naum Grubert explains his thoughts about the release:

"Pondering all his sonatas, one can trace a clear vector of development. If one were to define it, it would perhaps emerge as incessant striving for unity, with some central idea binding the details of the entire cycle together. A whole universe appears to unfold within each sonata, arranging the infinite variety and drama of life in a rigorous and cohesive order." 

Uniting the virtuosity and power of the piano with the versatility and freshness of the harp.

Handel Trilogy

Handel: Concerti Grossi, Op. 6 and Op. 3, Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin. Pentatone. Three Albums 2019, 2020 (DXD)

A review was just published on Positive Feedback:

"This is big, bold, exciting Handel. None of your timid tinkly stuff. This music has drive! It has bass! It is energetic! Just have fun with it. Yes, that was my first reaction listening to this new recording of Handel's Concerti Grossi, Op. 3, performed by the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin. Part of the reason for my reaction is the recording (more about which later), but most of the reason is the playing by the members of the Akademie, or "Akamus" as they are commonly known. They drive forward with vigor under the direction of concertmaster Georg Kallweit." (read more)
