Daniel Barenboim's performances of these three sonatas are quite simply flawless. Each movement of each sonata is played exactly as it it should be, both technically and artistically. I cannot imagine more intellectually and emotionally satisfying performances of these works. If you have come to regard these sonatas as over-played "warhorses" listen to this CD and enjoy them as the masterpieces which they truly are.
