BEETHOVEN: Piano Sonatas Nos. 1-3 (Schnabel) (1933-1934)

At first reluctant to make recordings, by the 1930s the great pianist Artur Schnabel fully accepted the new technology. His recordings of Beethoven’s piano music include all the numbered sonatas, originally issued on subscription by the Beethoven Sonata Society, testimony to the originality and profound musicality of his interpretations.
