Andras Schiff - Beethoven: Complete Music for Piano and Cello

�Beethoven�s five sonatas for piano and cello show in a nutshell the same evolution that the 32 piano sonatas show,� said Andr�s Schiff recently. �You have this wonderful young lion Beethoven in the opus 5 sonatas, you have the opus 69, the A major, which stands in the middle of his life, and then you have these wonderful two works, opus 102, which are at the gates of the late style, the last phase. And these are in a way experimental works, but fully crystallized.�
