Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 8. Op. 13 Pathetique & No. 14. Op. 27 Moonlight

It would be impossible to talk about Kemp without mentioning Beethoven. After the war, Kemp and Backhaus established themselves as the world's greatest Beethoven players. However, their playing styles were in complete contrast to each other. Backhaus, who was strict in his expression and uncompromising in his spirituality, was a man of warmth and humanity, while Kemp, on the other hand, was a man of deep spirituality and warmth. His Beethoven, which resembles a pious prayer to God, is something that today's pianists could never hope to achieve, and the deep emotion one feels after listening to it can only be said to be unique to Kemp's world. This CD is not one of a series of stereo recordings of the complete piano sonatas, but the first stereo recording made independently
