Solomon's brilliant interpretations of four of Beethoven's most popular piano sonatas make for an irresistible disc. His graceful, aristocratic style brings each piece to life. Lest you associate "grace" and "aristocratic" with brittle, small-scale playing, be advised that Solomon's energetic playing and his unerring choice of tempo and dynamic relationships fully convey the power and beauty of these great works. Listen to the way he sustains the deep emotions of the opening of the "Moonlight" without wallowing in it, or the way the unadorned simplicity of his phrasing of the Largo movement of the Sonata No. 7 strikes at the heart. Fast movements bristle with agitated energy, but always within a classical framework--Solomon does not turn Beethoven into a late-19th century composer. Within that frame, he gives us the whole man, full of passion and feeling. Few pianists have managed this feat, even fewer as well as Solomon does here. --Dan Davis
