A Journey with Beethoven
Catalog Number: SIGCD1001
Naruhiko Kawaguchi explores Beethoven beyond the sonatas, performing shorter works and rarities — including a 1822 revision of Für Elise — on three historical fortepianos from the Finchcocks Collection.
A Journey with Beethoven
Naruhiko Kawaguchi takes a fresh path through Beethoven's piano output, curating a programme of shorter works and arrangements that reveal facets of the composer often overshadowed by the great sonatas. Performed on three historical fortepianos from the Finchcocks Collection, the disc traces a musical arc through bagatelles, rondos, dances, transcriptions, and the Fantasy in G minor, alongside a rarely heard 1822 revision of Für Elise. The evolving timbres of the period instruments illuminate the changing sound world of Beethoven's era, while Kawaguchi's historically informed playing moves fluently between wit, lyricism, and introspection. A rewarding journey through music we think we know.
