Featuring "An Album a Day for 2010". I have so many cd's, and a lot of them are the crappy ones that I am left with because all the good ones were either loaned out or stolen from me by my kids. So anyway, for 365 days it is my goal to listen to the good with the bad, the classical with the punk, the sucky and the sublime, and then write something.

37. Beethoven: The Final Piano Sonatas, Op. 109, 110, 111



(This recording: Analekta, 2004

Sonata No. 30 in E Major, Op. 109
Sonata No. 31 in A-flat Major, Op. 110
Sonata No. 32 in C Minor, Op. 111

Anton Kuerti, piano)



Emily and I went to see Anton Kuerti play Beethoven sonatas on Friday night and I bought this cd. This guy is a phenomenal virtuoso and is regarded as being one of the greatest living pianists, especially as an interpreter of Beethoven, Schubert and Schumann.

I had never heard these sonatas before and they are among the last that Beethoven wrote.
