Beethoven's Piano Sonatas

"One of the most significant facts for the understanding of Beethoven is that his work shows an organic development up till the very end. The older Beethoven lived, the more and more profound was what he had to say. Such sustained development in the case of an artist who reaches years of maturity is a rare and important phenomenon."
---J.W.N. Sullivan, Beethoven: His Spiritual Development

"Gregory Partain is a gifted pianist, and every item is intelligently and sympathetically played." BBC Music Magazine
