Performers:
John Lill – piano
Most of Beethoven's Bagatelle output is 'late period'. The Op. 33 set - like all Beethoven - contains moments of great interest (pedal points held for long periods, unusual rhythms or key juxtapositions). The Op. 116 and Op. 123 are collections of miniatures, individually quirky, but if you step back and play or take them in as a set - they have the same characteristics as any of Beethoven's late great quartets. John Lill provides direct, flawless, well-recorded performances and does not try to impose a personality onto these works (which stand for themselves). These works for me are up there with any of the master's greatest, with their flashes of inspiration, individuality, and originality. Small does not mean insignificant. Lill was recorded digitally by Chandos and although other reviewers dislike the spacious sound of Snape Maltings, I personally prefer the concert hall vibe rather than a boxy room with no echoes. Have not heard Brendel, have heard Jando's full set, would recommend Lill as top pick for both performance and sound quality.
