Naum Grubert about this new Beethoven Recital:
This Beethoven CD serves the same purpose as my previous one: to record the sonatas from all three periods of Beethoven’s oeuvre. This highlights not only the features specific to each period, but also the ideas running through all of Beethoven’s works written as a sonata cycle. 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.
