Site review by Polly Nomial October 5, 2007
Performance:  Sonics (MC):
Sadly I have to report that this release is no better than Beethoven: Piano Sonatas Nos. 1-3 - Michael Korstick. The same overly-close and bright recording plagues this series and turns Korstick's playing of accents into assaults of the ears: this approach would have been phenomenal on a fortepiano rather than a Steinway - here it is just too much.

The tempi are uncontroversial, as is the phrasing and the general conception - it is a shame that he is let down so badly in his choice of instrument and the recording afforded him.

Not recommended.
