Beethoven: Sonates Vol. 2

Guy, François-Frédéric

ZZT 304

Beethoven has always lain at the heart of François-Frédéric Guys musical endeavours, from his first disc of the Hammerklavier op. 106 on harmonia mundi in the 1990s, which revealed him as one of the future great pianists of his generation, to his set of the concertos conducted by Philippe Jordan and a second version of the Hammerklavier.In 2008 the festival Le Printemps des Arts de Monaco offered him the opportunity of performing a complete cycle of the Beethoven sonatas over a series of concerts in a single week, an experience repeated at the Cité de la Musique in Paris in 2009. A new complete cycle in concert, begun at the Arsenal de Metz in December 2009, will be completed in 2012. After the first instalment of the complete set, released in October 2011, the second volume will be issued in April 2012.
