The release of Glenn Gould’s 1955 recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations, BWV 988, (Naxos 8.111247) spread his name around the world as this was Bach playing of a style that was wholly new. As a follow up, the 23 year-old Gould chose the last three sonatas by Beethoven which, at that time, were usually reserved for more experienced pianists. With their sometimes unusually fast tempos (executed with remarkable clarity and precision) and omission of repeats, Gould’s performances originally attracted widespread criticism for daring to be different. With hindsight, however, they can be seen as perfectly valid interpretations that combine sensitivity and intelligence without a trace of sentimentality. |

| |  | Beethoven: The Last Three Sonatas
"The authors of the Penguin Guide declared the cycle from which these performances derive as being "As sound, the finest Beethoven sonata-cycle yet on CD". Certainly, as one listens to the start of Op. 111 or to some of the great organ sonorities of the Op. 110 fugue it is impossible not to admire the sound, its clarity and dynamic range, its marbled splendour ... Bernard Roberts is a Beethoven interpreter of sterling integrity. His preference for long takes enhances that feeling."
