Description:

This is the 16th album on ALM RECORDS by Yayoko Yamane, who received the Music Pen Club Music Award in 2014 for the completion of the first Japanese recording of Beethoven's complete solo piano works and for her many years of performance. The album features four sonatas, including the Sonata in F major K.332, which is familiar to students, the Sonata in C major K.330, which leaves a lovely impression, and the Adagio in B minor K.540, which is particularly popular. In addition, as a selection typical of Yamane, the album includes the unusual Variations on the theme of the last movement of Clarinet Quintet in A major, K.581, K.Anh.137. (C)RS
