At the peak of his powers, Kissin finds something timeless and yet new every time he encounters Beethoven. Here he tackles three of the great Piano Sonatas: the Waldstein, Tempest and Pathétique.

The great Russian virtuoso guarantees flawless technique and a potent blend of energy and expression whenever he takes a seat at the piano.
