Wilhelm Kempff’s landmark 1960 stereo recordings of Beethoven’s complete piano sonatas, mastered at 24bit/96kHz in DTS-HD Master Audio, with CD Mastering taken from the HRA remastering to achieve a new and clearer sound. The impression made by Wilhelm Kempff’s performances of Beethoven is that of an embodiment of Beethoven’s remark that music must strike fire from the spirit of mankind. Kempff brought to the 32 Sonatas a sense of fantasy and improvisation.
