La quintessence de l'art d'Emil Gilels, l'un des plus grands pianistes du XXe siècle et avec Sviatoslav Richter le meilleure de l'école russe, se trouve dans ce coffret de 9 CD édité pour la première fois en 1996, puis sous une nouvelle présentation en 2006.
Mort en 1985, Gilels n'aura pas eu le temps d'achever l'enregistrement de l'intégralité des sonates pour piano de Beethoven, laissant au silence cinq d'entre elles dont la première (Opus 2, n° 1) et la dernière, le fameux Opus 111 de la trente-deuxième. Ce sont donc vingt-sept autres numéro d'opus qui sont réunis dans ce qui constitue l'une des meilleures performances du genre, aux côtés des intégrales de Claudio Arrau, Alfred Brendel et Wilhelm Kempff.
Ces enregistrements réalisés entre 1972 et l'année de sa mort donnent à entendre des sommets d'interprétation, à commencer par la Sonate n° 7 op. 10 n°3 , publiée simultanément aux Variations Eroica op. 35 - de toute beauté -, incluses dans le coffret. À la maîtrise du tempo s'ajoute la rigueur toute russe et le sentiment (Largo e mesto). La suite va crescendo dans la clarté et la perfection du jeu. La Sonate n° 17 op. 31 n°2 dite « La Tempête », la plus personnalisée, est dotée d'une conclusion historique, l'une des plus belles du répertoire beethovénien (Allegretto).
Sans perdre en nuances, la Sonate n° 21 op. 53 « Waldstein » est un roulement rythmique inextinguible porté par la puissance et l'assurance du jeu. La Sonate n° 23 op. 57 « Appassionata », couplée à l'origine à la précédente, est tout aussi imparable dans son tempo sûr et serein. La Sonate n° 25 op. 79 « Alla tedesca » est tout simplement magistrale, une interprétation olympienne.
La dernière année, Gilels réalise à Berlin les Sonate n° 30 op. 109 et Sonate n° 31 op. 110, qui sont encore considérées comme la référence absolue trente ans après la disparition du pianiste, qui n'aura pas eu le temps d'accéder à l'ultime étape de cette ascension monumentale.

La quintessence de l'art d'Emil Gilels, l'un des plus grands pianistes du XXe siècle et avec Sviatoslav Richter le meilleure de l'école russe, se trouve dans ce coffret de 9 CD édité pour la première fois en 1996, puis sous une nouvelle présentation en 2006.
Mort en 1985, Gilels n'aura pas eu le temps d'achever l'enregistrement de l'intégralité des sonates pour piano de Beethoven, laissant au silence cinq d'entre elles dont la première (Opus 2, n° 1) et la dernière, le fameux Opus 111 de la trente-deuxième. Ce sont donc vingt-sept autres numéro d'opus qui sont réunis dans ce qui constitue l'une des meilleures performances du genre, aux côtés des intégrales de Claudio Arrau, Alfred Brendel et Wilhelm Kempff.
Ces enregistrements réalisés entre 1972 et l'année de sa mort donnent à entendre des sommets d'interprétation, à commencer par la Sonate n° 7 op. 10 n°3 , publiée simultanément aux Variations Eroica op. 35 - de toute beauté -, incluses dans le coffret. À la maîtrise du tempo s'ajoute la rigueur toute russe et le sentiment (Largo e mesto). La suite va crescendo dans la clarté et la perfection du jeu. La Sonate n° 17 op. 31 n°2 dite « La Tempête », la plus personnalisée, est dotée d'une conclusion historique, l'une des plus belles du répertoire beethovénien (Allegretto).
Sans perdre en nuances, la Sonate n° 21 op. 53 « Waldstein » est un roulement rythmique inextinguible porté par la puissance et l'assurance du jeu. La Sonate n° 23 op. 57 « Appassionata », couplée à l'origine à la précédente, est tout aussi imparable dans son tempo sûr et serein. La Sonate n° 25 op. 79 « Alla tedesca » est tout simplement magistrale, une interprétation olympienne.
La dernière année, Gilels réalise à Berlin les Sonate n° 30 op. 109 et Sonate n° 31 op. 110, qui sont encore considérées comme la référence absolue trente ans après la disparition du pianiste, qui n'aura pas eu le temps d'accéder à l'ultime étape de cette ascension monumentale.
