{"product_id":"4260034866201","title":"Michael Korstick - Beethoven: Piano Sonatas Vol.7 - No.16-18 \/ Michael Korstick - Import SACD Hybrid","description":"\u003cp\u003eCredits:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Korstick\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDescription:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Köstick is a mid-career pianist born in 1955. Already known in Europe as “Dr. Beethoven,” he is a highly acclaimed pianist who has won the Echo Award and the 2008 Midem Award. His Beethoven performances are in a league of their own; having re-examined Beethoven’s autograph scores from the ground up, the energy that surges through every note is on the verge of exploding. His playing possesses a singing quality full of ease, along with a carefully considered beauty achieved through exquisite dynamics and tempo choices. As an interpretation of the works, this album is not only emotionally resonant but also thoroughly thought-out in its development, making it the most ideal recording possible. It is therefore only natural that he has won numerous awards. Although he released his debut album—his first recording at age 40—on a different label featuring Symphonies Nos. 30–32, that album was hailed as a “surprise!” and has raised expectations for this collection of his mid-period works.
