Top Choice

Murray Perahia

1991

Gil's top choice for this selection (Sonatas No. 8, 11, and 15). A 'wonderful interpreter' of classical repertoire, Perahia has 'beautiful grace and touch and tone and balance and excellent finger work.' 'Beautifully recorded.'

Also Worth Hearing

Dinu Lipatti

1947

A 'famous old recording' of the dramatic Sonata No. 8 (K. 310). Lipatti 'really brings that intensity to it,' playing in a 'wonderfully urgent and dramatic, but also lyrical and graceful' way.
