Description:
Sonatas Vol.9 is an album by Ludwig Van Beethoven, released in 2011. The album is a classical 2-CD. - GARRICK OHLSSON
"Sonatas, Vol. 9" on CD presents Garrick Ohlsson in the mature phase of his artistry, focusing on the intimate and architecturally rich world of the piano sonata. Across this volume, Ohlsson unfolds the full expressive range of the repertoire: from reflective, introverted movements to powerful, stormy climaxes shaped with structural clarity and finely graded dynamics. His playing is distinguished by a noble tone, balanced voicing between the hands and an unhurried sense of pacing that lets each musical idea breathe. The recording highlights not only the lyrical depth of the slow movements but also the rhythmic drive and crystalline articulation of the faster ones, making the disc equally compelling for seasoned collectors and newcomers to this music.
Garrick Ohlsson is internationally recognized as one of the foremost pianists of his generation, renowned especially for his command of the Romantic repertoire. He first attracted worldwide attention by winning the International Chopin Piano Competition, and his career since then has taken him to leading concert halls and orchestras around the globe. Ohlsson is celebrated for his expansive repertoire, ranging from Classical and Romantic masters to 20th-century works, always approached with intellectual rigor and emotional honesty. His discography has earned critical acclaim for its combination of technical authority, structural insight and poetic sensitivity, qualities that are clearly on display in "Sonatas, Vol. 9".
The CD benefits from the refined production values of Bridge Records, an independent label known for its commitment to artistic integrity and high-quality sound.
