Immerse yourself in the timeless elegance of Ludwig van Beethoven's masterful piano sonatas with this captivating album, released in 1968 by Warner Classics. Spanning a concise yet impactful 56 minutes, this collection showcases four of Beethoven's most celebrated works: the deeply expressive Piano Sonata No. 8 in C Minor, Op. 13 "Pathétique," the introspective Piano Sonata No. 13 in E-Flat Major, Op. 27 No. 1 "Quasi una fantasia," the lively Piano Sonata No. 25 in G Major, Op. 79, and the contemplative Piano Sonata No. 27 in E Minor, Op. 90.
