Listeners of all ages will find in this recital a lively and absorbing array of pieces, arranged in much the same spirit as in "Volume 1". A sequence of smaller pieces (bagatelles mostly) prepares the way for the larger, more complex, sonata movements. Among these is the opening movement of the "Moonlight" Sonata, whose fateful and instantly recognizable triplet figure exerts its hypnotic power throughout a quite long journey. © Steinway and Sons
