Beth Levin's recent live performances of Beethoven's final three piano sonatas--the Everests of the form--were widely hailed. Now a new CD, excerpts below. I saw Mitsuko Uchida do them live at Carnegie about three years ago, playing them one after the other after asking for no applause or bows between them. A single breath.

I've attended two traversals of the last three piano sonatas in the Boston area recently: by Paavali Jumppanen at the Gardner Museum, and Till Fellner at the Berklee Conservatory. I've read that Andras Schiff has performed them in this man ner in New York City recently. I sense a trend here.
