Why This CD Matters
This volume pairs Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas Nos. 27, 28, and 29, including the large-scale “Hammerklavier” Sonata. John O’Conor’s playing brings clarity and directness to the contrasting works, from Op. 90’s compact two-movement design to the final sonata’s imposing fugue. It is the eighth volume in his recorded cycle of Beethoven’s 32 piano sonatas.
Collector Note
This 1993 US Telarc Digital CD reissue is identified by catalog number CD-80335 and is marked remastered in stereo. It brings together Sonatas Nos. 27–29, with the “Hammerklavier” as the centerpiece of the program.
