Description
Following her acclaimed release of Beethoven's Diabelli Variations on Odradek, Muriel Chemin returns with an even more ambitious recording encompassing the Complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas.

This phenomenal recording is a true labour of love, in which Muriel Chemin brings her "clarity, precision, dynamism and artistic authoritativeness" (Repertoire) and her "combination of rigour, richness and analytical awareness" (Le Monde de la Musique) to Beethoven's 32 sonatas.

As Chemin writes in her Artist Statement, a feature of the album booklet, "the opportunity to climb a peak of this importance is a huge privilege for a pianist both as a performer and as an interpreter."
Beethoven has been a constant presence in Muriel Chemin's life ever since, at the age of seven, she first heard his music and began to listen to it frequently and with utter absorption.

This love of Beethoven deepened as her career flourished, culminating in the profoundly personal interpretations on this collection.

Chemin does not seek to offer an analytical overview of these sonatas, but rather takes each work on its own terms, relating it to its historical context, from fugal writing that harks back to the Baroque, to the structural integration of works such as the 'Hammerklavier' which anticipate the revolutionary developments of the 20th century.

Muriel Chemin brings her passion and integrity to this scintillating music, offering the listener an intimate insight into Beethoven's piano sonatas as they chart the trajectory of his extraordinary musical evolution.

"As far as it goes, this is exemplary playing in technique, restraint and tastefulness [?] All piano lovers may be grateful that Chemin rediscovered her pathway to Beethoven's complete sonatas" ? International Piano Magazine
