Benchmark Beethoven - Julian Steckel & Dénes Várjon

From brave to untamable: the becoming of Beethoven in five cello sonatas The five cello sonatas of Beethoven lead like a roadmap through his career. From the first two from 1796, when he was still flirting with classicism, it goes via the mature opus 69 to the late twins from 1815 that look forward to the impossible. Each work shows a different Beethoven – courteous, rebellious, tender. Julian Steckel and Dénes Várjon play the integral in one morning: a masterclass in focus, surrender and tension management. And a must for anyone who wants to experience Beethoven’s revolution from the barricades.
