William,
You
and your readers will be interested to know that I will be playing, on
my weekly classical music program on WHPK-FM in Chicago on Tuesday March
23, Stewart Goodyear's brilliant recordings of the Beethoven sonatas
No. 21 ("Waldstein") and No. 29 ("Hammerklavier") from his complete set
of Beethoven piano sonatas on the Marquis Music label
The
American Music Guide said about the recording that "Goodyear is a
master pianist... Each sonata exists in its own world and each is
approached as its own entity. Never was there a feeling of sameness
about the playing, and never did I feel that the artist was giving less
than his best... Stewart Goodyear may come closest yet in performing
these sonatas to the way I believe the master himself might have done
them... this entire set [is] among the foremost to be had... I'll go
with Goodyear as first choice."
Also on the program will be Charles Ives Symphonies Nos. 2 and 4 and Richard Strauss "Metamorphosen" for 23 solo strings.
And as always my show can be heard every Tuesday 12 noon-3PM (CST) and livestream worldwide on the station website on http://www.whpk.org.
Sergio
