Beethoven/5, Vol. 1

Beethoven/5, Vol. 1
Biss’ assured command of the demanding keyboard-writing and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra’s bracing proficiency are well captured… I find much of Biss’ pearly, intimately scaled phrasing...

Awards and reviews

August 2024

Biss’ assured command of the demanding keyboard-writing and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra’s bracing proficiency are well captured… I find much of Biss’ pearly, intimately scaled phrasing tasteful and on point.

June 2024

Orchestral textures are exceptionally clean… This extreme clarity of texture and articulation spills over into the orchestra’s interaction with the soloist… Biss puts in an astonishing performance of what sounds like a fiendish technical and musical challenge… I cannot recommend this disc too highly.
