Description:

The second result of the "Beethoven Project," in which Naoko Kawamura spent two years performing a series of 14 piano sonatas in four locations throughout Japan, is now available. In addition to the two most famous sonatas, "Passion" and "Waldstein," the recording includes Beethoven's sonata No. 18 "The Hunting," with its undulating four-movement structure, and No. 24 "Therese," which stands out for its graceful beauty. Every note breathes with suppleness, and the graceful spirit of song captures the listener's heart.
