Pianist Giovanni Mazzocchin reads Beethoven's Sonatas with energy and depth." (Naxos)

„If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.“ We could imagine that, like Newton, even Beethoven could have pronounced this adage. We might imagine, in fact, it being the wish of the Bonn master to go beyond the music of his time (eg the Sonata form) and rediscover the great forms of the past.

The very young Italian talent Giovanni Mazzocchin (22 y.o.) reads the 5 late Beethoven's Sonatas in a linear and respectful way, but no less personal and mature. This recording includes the Opus 101, 106 (Hammerklavier), the most difficult piece written by the Bonn’s master, one of the most arduous of the whole piano literature; and the final triptych (Op.) 109-111.
