{"product_id":"4547366064971","title":"Rudolf Buchbinder - Beethoven: Great Piano Sonatas - Japan CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eCredits:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRudolf Buchbinder\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDescription:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRudolf Buchbinder is such a beloved and renowned pianist in Vienna—the heartland of classical music—that people say, “When you think of a pianist, you think of Rudy.” He is internationally acclaimed for his interpretations of German and Austrian piano music—from Haydn to Brahms—and particularly for his performances of Beethoven’s works; in the 1980s, he recorded a complete set of Beethoven’s piano works, including all of his piano sonatas. He has visited Japan frequently, and his popularity is such that performances where he appears as a soloist with the NHK Symphony Orchestra’s subscription series are consistently sold out.\nThis album features selections personally chosen by Buchbinder for his Japanese fans from his second complete collection—completed in 2011 based on live recordings at the Semperoper in Dresden, a quarter-century after his first complete recording—and brings together the four famous “titled” sonatas on a single disc. Having meticulously studied the scores and faithfully translated the composer’s instructions into sound, his refreshing performance—which breaks away from the Romantic performance tradition—is enhanced by the tension and maturity born of performing before a live audience, making it a rich and fulfilling recording that deserves to be a long-lasting standard.\nSony Music\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sony Classical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595467186465,"sku":"4547366064971","price":2640.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4547366064971.jpg?v=1790481247","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4547366064971","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
