Beethoven constantly calls into question and modifies the notion of time in sonata form. The 32 sonatas are like a voyage of initiation that runs throughout his creative career, displaying his endlessly inventive imagination. After Liszt s Harmonies poétiques et religieuses and Sonata in B minor, François-Frédéric Guy offers us a complete cycle of Beethoven s sonatas, recorded in public at the Arsenal in Metz. This set is the first volume.
