Experience the essential Beethoven piano repertoire with this definitive performance by celebrated pianist Radu Lupu. Released under the Belart label, this album brings together three of Beethoven's most profound and iconic piano sonatas, showcasing Lupu’s unique interpretive mastery.
Widely regarded as a benchmark recording, Lupu’s performance of the "Moonlight" Sonata (No. 14) is particularly acclaimed for its individuality. Critics have praised his ability to create a "magical" and atmospheric "halo of sound" in the opening movement, marking this release as a definitive "First Choice" for collectors and connoisseurs alike, as featured in BBC's Building a Library recommendations.
Album Highlights:

- Piano Sonata No. 21 in C major, Op. 53 ("Waldstein")
