Stephen Kovacevich's recent Beethoven sonata cycle for EMI (reviewed May 2004) achieves arguably the most convincing Beethoven style of any pianist since Schnabel, and these 1970s recordings for Philips are cut from the same cloth. Brusque, urgent, playful and eloquent by turns, they compel attention through unflagging insistence that this music is vitally important. Colin Davis is a sympathetic partner for Kovacevich's vision, and also evokes memorable lyrical solemnity at the beginning of No. 4.
