Giltburg later in his career with the Beethoven works. Despite his significant pianistic talent, this project feels very rushed, and the liner notes for the last sonatas provided do not help to rectify that impression for me. They read as if he is capturing very initial thoughts and impressions -- certainly nothing like the insights Charles Rosen would bring to such commentary.That said, Naxos has already made these recordings (all 9 discs) available on Amazon HD at their highest quality "Ultra HD" for easy access. I assume other streaming services have them as well. I will certainly check them out -- I just need to get comfortable (embrace the freshness of approach?) with younger pianists like Giltburg, Levit and Stewart Goodyear who have all produced complete cycles very suddenly when the masters of yore took decades to get there.
Also (and this is genuinely snarky, apologies) the Fazioli piano company has put a serious amount of mojo behind Giltburg as a sort of "Cover Girl" for their brand -- NOT A REAL QUOTE: "I don't ALWAYS play Beethoven on a modern piano but, when I do, I'm having a Fazioli!":-)
