This album features pianist Marios Papadopoulos in Beethoven’s three Op. 31 piano sonatas, composed in 1802 at a turning point in the composer’s career. Often associated with the so-called “Tempest” period, these works reflect Beethoven’s expanding approach to form, contrast, and keyboard writing. Recorded on a modern Steinway piano, the performances emphasise clarity of structure and rhythmic control alongside expressive range. The release forms part of Papadopoulos’s long-term engagement with Beethoven’s piano sonatas, presenting these works as a unified group that bridges the composer’s early and middle creative periods.
