Piano Sonata No. 29Piano Sonata No. 29

"Beethoven's 'Hammerklavier' Sonata is a formidable challenge for any pianist. Making his Deutsche Grammophon debut, Nobuyuki Tsujii has chosen this technically and intellectually demanding work, which brought him victory in the prestigious Van Cliburn Competition. obu, as he is lovingly known, feels a personal affinity for Beethoven and here also savours the composer's intimate, lyrical side in Liszt's affectionate transcription of the song cycle An die ferne Geliebte."-- Container
