Maria João Pires, Beethoven - Moonlight Sonatas Quasi Una Fantasia
Review by Tai Morshed
Moonlight Sonatas Quasi Una Fantasia by Maria João Pires, Beethoven is a stunning album that showcases the incredible talent of the pianist. The album features Beethoven's famous Moonlight Sonata, as well as several other pieces that demonstrate Pires' artistry and skill.
The album begins with the Moonlight Sonata, which is played with a beautiful and haunting quality that perfectly captures the mood of the piece. Pires' interpretation of the sonata is both emotional and technically flawless, creating a truly memorable listening experience.
The album also features several other pieces by Beethoven, including Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor, Op. 27, No. 2, and Sonata No. 21 in C major, Op. 53. Each of these pieces is played with the same level of precision and emotion as the Moonlight Sonata, showcasing Pires' incredible range as a pianist.
