Considered by many to be one of Beethoven's greatest piano sonatas, the Waldstein set the scene for future piano works, both by Beethoven and those he influenced. Full of the heroic grandeur that distinguishes the composer's middle period, and one of Beethoven's most technically challenging piano works, it's an ambitious undertaking for any pianist. In this recording Wilhelm Backhaus proves himself equal to the task, combining his characteristically objective, analytical approach with clean phrasing and great feeling. Small wonder he was so admired for his Beethoven interpretations during his lifetime.

Beethoven
Piano Sonata No.21 in C Op.53 'Waldstein'
Wilhelm Backhaus (piano)
