 Notes & Reviews Back to Top 
"Stephen Kovacevich recorded his Beethoven cycle for EMI between 1992 and 2003 with consistent success, capping the series with an extraordinary account the Hammerklavier. The individual CDs have been highly praised by us. However, some of them have been withdrawn, so the arrival of the complete set at a bargain price is doubly welcome. EMI’s recording is of consistently high quality, and this cycle must now be counted a first choice, along side Goode, Kempff and of course the pioneering Schnabel recordings." - Penguin Guide to Compact Discs & DVDs - 2005/06 Edition
