Cliburn romanticizes Beethoven's three great sonatas with his sonorous and beautiful voice
This RCA Red Seal recording features the three great sonatas, "Appassionata," "Moonlight Sonata," and "Pathétique." The majestic vocals and rounded tone bring out the poetry and drama of the works. This collection of outstanding performances is captivating, with an open expression that allows you to intuitively immerse yourself in the works.
This album brings out the charm of the three great sonatas in a straightforward way, with Cliburn's distinctive deep breathing and rounded touch. The opening of "Moonlight Sonata" features beautiful vocal phrasing, with a warm sound floating in the quiet shadows. "Pathétique" moves naturally from a profound introduction to a bright lyricism, impressively enveloping the range of emotions in a soft tone. In "Appassionata," the performance takes a complete turn, with large-scale dynamism coming to the fore, and the contrast between the powerful forte and relaxed soft notes accentuates the dramatic quality of the work. This is typical of Beethoven, where Cliburn conveys the work with a wide-open expression rather than flaunting technical skill.
