Description:

The complete recording of Beethoven's complete piano sonatas by Maurizio Pollini, a 72-year-old (as of 2014) active pianist from Milan. The recording of 32 masterpieces, which are an important repertoire at the core of classical music as a whole and which trace the development of Beethoven's own art and compositional style, is now complete after 39 years (as of the same date)!
