This important set contains the sixteen Beethoven sonatas that Wilhelm Kempff
recorded for Grammophon in Germany between 1940 and 1943. Several are reissued
here for the first time since their original release on 78rpm discs and none are
currently available elsewhere. The sound is excellent for the period and all
reveal the young Kempff at his best, in performances that compliment his later
thoughts. The release is the companion of two previous APR releases of early
Kempff Beethoven recordings the late sonatas (APR6018) and piano concertos 1, 3,
4 & 5 (APR6019), both of which received excellent reviews and were amongst APRs
best sellers.
