  • Description

    British pianist Jonathan Plowright makes his début recording on BIS. Hailed by Gramophone as 'one of the finest living pianists', Plowright is recognised worldwide as a truly exceptional artist.Brahms's Piano Sonata No. 3 is hero¬ic in scale, unconventional in layout and exudes high quality making it one of the most impressive sonatas since those of Beethoven and Schubert.Brahms never wrote another piano sonata after completing No. 3 but instead concentrated on a series of large-scale sets of variations, among which the Handel Variations must be considered his crowning achievement. Completed in September 1861 the work shows Brahms at the height of his powers."
