Bach: Matthäuspassion - Leonhardt | Andre Vital - December 5, 2024

I‘ve just bumped into the SONY CD Version (2011), and it says that this recording was remastered to 24/96. I Wonder If this remastering/upsampling was the same used by BMG ...

Shostakovich: Symphonies 1-15 - Barshai | Mark Glynn - Today 12:58 am

Bach: The Vocal Works - Suzuki | Mark Arnest - December 4, 2024

This is a great set if you can get it at a good price and don't already own a lot of it. But it's not all high-resolution audio. It all sounds good, but the works originally ...

Bruckner: Symphony No. 9 - Karajan | Contrapunctus - November 30, 2024

I'm really curious about this new remastering. The versions on RBCD (even in the remastered complete 60's recordings box) don't impress/convince me.

Beethoven: Piano Sonatas, Vol. 10 - Korstick

Oehms Classics  OC 663

Beethoven: Piano Sonata Op. 106 "Hammerklavier", Bagatelles Op. 126, Klavierstück WoO 60, Klavierstück WoO 61a, Rondo Op. 129 "Rondo a capriccio"

Michael Korstick (piano)


The superb reviews prove that it remains well worth it, both for the artist as well as for the CD label, to bring a complete Beethoven sonata cycle to market. The meticulousness with which Michael Korstick not only plays, but also researches, is unique.

The pièce de résistance of Volume 10 is No. 106, the “Great Sonata for the Pianoforte”.
