Der herausragende russische Pianist Konstantin Scherbakov und das Label STEINWAY & SONS begehen das Beethoven-Jahr mit einer Gesamtaufnahme der Klaviersonaten. Die Werke erfahren hier eine subtil ausgeleuchtete Wiedergabe, die sich unter anderem durch eine große Klangvielfalt auszeichnet. Für Scherbakov war dieses Mammutprojekt nach eigener Aussage wie die Heimkehr in ein Gebiet, dem man auf natürliche Weise verbunden ist und dessen Schönheit sich einem unmittelbar erschließt. Das Ergebnis ist zweifellos eine der zwingendsten Deutungen des 'Neuen Testaments der Klaviermusik' der letzten Jahre, die noch lange Referenzcharakter besitzen wird.
