About

Following complete cycles of piano sonatas by Mozart and Beethoven, Daniel-Ben Pienaar presents 12 Great Piano Sonatas by Franz Schubert the composer's 11 finished sonatas and the seminal fragment D840.

Both on the concert platform and in the recording studio, pianist Daniel-Ben Pienaar is a completist. Following complete cycles of piano sonatas by Beethoven and Mozart, he presents 12 Great Piano Sonatas by Franz Schubert the composer's 11 finished sonatas and the seminal fragment D840. Pienaar relishes in these revelatory works, their extraordinarily detailed possibilities of characterisation, their call for immense energy and abandon, and navigating the vast dreamscapes that unfold in the course of this six-hour musical journey.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM "dazzling precision and clarity he communicates an individual and convincing vision for each piece, enough for every one of them to give delight. Brilliant." Gramophone, Editor's Choice (on The Long 17th Century, AV2415)

"a gloriously multi-faceted opus maximus Amazing and very much worth hearing" Der Spiegel (on Beethoven's Complete Piano Sonatas, AV2320)

"dizzying virtuosity fresh, spontaneous, original readings that shed new light on the keyboard player's Bible" BBC Music Magazine (on J. S. Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, AV2299)

"One of the most completely satisfying surveys ever committed to disc." The Sunday Times (on Mozart's Complete Piano Sonatas, AV2209)
