- Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2007It's taken only the briefest exposure on disc for Jonathan Biss to skyrocket to prominence among serious music lovers. He's not a box-office draw among the general public like Lang Lang and Yundi Li, but Biss's musicianship excels both -- he's a deep-dyed artist in the mold of Serkin and Pollini. Like them, he's able to search into Beethoven and bring freshness and insight into the most familiar scores. I think Biss even has a chance at becoming the American Pollini given his precision combined with spontaneous excitement and authority -- time will tell.
Here Biss brings together four sonatas at varying degrees of familiarity, ranging from the "Pathetique" op. 13, whose famous slow movement he plays with natural sensitivity (even at a fastish tempo he brings tears to the eyes) to the infrequently recorded sontata #27, Op. 90. In between we get the lovely "Pastorale" Sonata, Op. 28 and the most musically challenging selection, Op. 109.
In all these works the same quality of unforced musicianship, totally free of gimmicks or posturing, marks Biss as the real thing. Among young pianists recording Beethoven, his closest comparison is Paul Lewis, a muore chaste interpreter and pupil of Brendel's. It will be interesting to see how both grow, but for the moment Biss has more ideas and also more technique. It's remarkable how easily he encompasses any difficulty the composer brings. In sum, this is a rare recital and a total joy.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2008I think Biss delivers a truly wonderful account of the Pathetique and Pastoral sonatas. I have to agree fully with Sante Fe listener.
The sound of the piano is rich but mellow. There is no harshness or clanginess (which some people use in describing Pollini's piano sound). Unlike Biss's account of the Appassionata (also on EMI) which was closely miked there is greater spacing on this CD. Don't get me wrong, I think the close miking really adds to the impact of the Appassionata on his debut EMI CD.
But the more mellow, subdued sound on this CD is befitting for the Pastorale sonata.
I found the pacing of the slow movement of the Pathetique to be a bit on the fast side. But, when taken in context with the outer movements it flows with the overall feel of the sonata.
I greatly appreciate Biss as a pianist. I truly hope he records more of Beethoven's sonatas.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2013Excellent rendition of the sonatas by a very exciting young pianist, Jonathan Biss. Thoughtful, elegant approach to these landmark pieces.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2012Jonathan Biss could easily be termed a musician's musician: for any pianist who has ever studied and lived with the Beethoven sonatas, hearing how Biss brings these works into the light as few ever have is a wonder. This young, personable, dedicated and enormously gifted pianist brings more the these sonatas than most of us ever thought possible. He surveys Piano Sonatas Nos. 8 (the Pathétique), 15 (the Pastoral), 27 and 30 - each works of a very wide range of emotions and makes them seem fresh, new, thrilling.
But Biss is more than simply a musician held in profound respect by his peers and Beethoven devotees, he is a pianist of poetry and communications. To be present in the hall when he is playing either recital or concerto is a revelation. The sound he creates comes from somewhere other then simply his hands and the keyboard. Fortunately for us this recording is so excellent technically that his presence seems to be in the room with us. This is Beethoven magnificently offered. Highly recommended. Grady Harp, January 12
