Stewart Goodyear has selected six of his favorite Beethoven piano sonatas for this new 2-CD collection, a compilation of music from his 10-CD box set of complete Beethoven sonatas. Includes: Pathétique, Moonlight, Appassionata, and Hammerklavier, and more.

"Mr Goodyear's style has strength and drama, elegant and exquisite technique and great emotional depth."

"Stewart Goodyear [has a] stylish, vitally communicative way with Beethoven. His spontaneous inflections of phrase never sound the least bit mannered... a kind of kinetic response to the composer's combative, hair trigger dynamic contrasts... A riveting release on every level." - Gramophone

"He leaps the summit of the piano repertoire with complete success. Performances have a thrilling energy, mania for details, and brim with interpretive ideas that seem to leap out of the speakers in three dimensions." - David Patrick Stearns, Philadelphia Enquirer
