For his second release at NativeDSD Music, pianist Naum Grubert brings us his new album on the Navis Classics label.  It features a Stereo DSD recording of Beethoven: Sonatas opus 10 no.3, opus 57 ‘Appassionata’, opus 110 played on a Steinway 274 piano recorded at Westvest 90 located in Schiedam, The Netherlands.

In the liner notes Naum Grubert explains his thoughts about the release:

“This Beethoven release serves the same purpose as my previous one: to record the sonatas from all three periods of Beethoven’s oeuvre. This highlights not only the features specific to each period, but also the ideas running through all of Beethoven’s works written as a sonata cycle. Pondering all his sonatas, one can trace a clear vector of development.

If one were to define it, it would emerge as incessant striving for unity, with some central idea binding the details of the entire cycle together. A whole universe appears to unfold within each sonata, arranging the infinite variety and drama of life in a rigorous and cohesive order.”
