Natan Brand plays Beethoven Piano Sonata No.31 in A-Flat Major Op.110

A concert performance by Natan Brand of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No.31 in A-Flat Major Op.110, recorded at one of his last recitals in 1990, the year he passed away of illness at the age of 46. Brand was an Israeli-American pianist whose probing and fiery interpretations attracted the attention of international pianophiles when a 2-disc album featuring some superb private recordings was released on the APR two years after his death. While particularly praised for his Schumann and Chopin, Brand played a wide range of repertoire with soaring phrasing, a gorgeous palette of colours, and a massive dynamic range that included the most feathery (but still full-bodied) pianissimo and raging fortissimo. As no recordings of Brand in Beethoven have been released, this private recording of him playing Op.110 (graciously provided by his widow Lori, to whom all thanks) is of tremendous interest. As usual Brand plays with his sumptuous singing sonority, exquisite voicing, transparent textures, and mindful use of timing to highlight musical content.
