Extractions: 'The blinkered spirits who thought the composer of the Hammerklavier mad were themselves deluded; but a touch of madness in the works' performance helps, as this disciplined but ferocious, at times profoundly tender, account shows. Kovacevich's playing gives the paradoxical impression of rigorous control that it might lose at any moment. It combines tremendous rhythmic thrust, wildness and the stillness of the eye of the storm, and also a nice sense of the quirkiness writ large of which the Op 119 Bagatelles, included here, are a miniature but characteristic example. The disc is rounded off by a dazzlingly eloquent performance of the Les Adieux sonata'.

Extractions: Stephen Kovacevich was born in Los Angeles in 1940 and made his debut as a pianist at the age of 11. At the age of 18 he moved to England to study with Dame Myra Hess. He has had a long and distinguished career as a concert pianist and is particularly noted for his radical interpretations of the classical repertoire. Stephen Kovacevich records exclusively for EMI Classics and is currently recording the complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas. His release of the Beethoven Op.31 sonatas prompted Robert Layton to write "Even if you have other versions of these sonatas get this disc, for I believe that if the series continues as it has begun, the Kovacevich cycle will occupy a standing not far short of that enjoyed by Schnabel in the heyday of 78s or Kempff in the early days of LP." Syrinx and the Prokofiev Sonata. Although strongly associated with the Classical masters, Stephen Kovacevich has commissioned, with the support of the Arts Council of England, a solo piano work Southern Lament by fellow American, Stephen Montague, which received its world premiere at the 1997 Cheltenham International Music Festival. Further performances were given in the US and London, including the BBC Proms and the Royal Festival Hall. He has also performed chamber music recitals with artists such as Lynn Harrell, Michael Collins, Antonio Pappano, Barbara Hendricks and Cecilia Bartoli.

Extractions: A large audience was privileged to eavesdrop upon Stephen Kovacevich , renowned Beethoven specialist, taking well equipped students through passages in Beethoven sonatas. His manner was gentle and kindly, but searching and demanding. He put his 'victims' at ease by establishing whether each felt nervous or confident, and made them think and articulate their aims in dialogue with him - "tell me what you might not have liked in how you played that?" - before suggesting his own preferred solutions and persuading them to try it differently, but leaving final choices to them. In an absorbing one and a half hour session without pause he explored the Appassionata with an Israeli student from the Royal Academy of Music in London (Inon Barnatan) and Op. 109 with a Japanese graduate of the capital's Royal College of Music (Mami Shikimori). Both were technically assured and knew the music so well that they could take up at will at any point as required - "we can work on a certain level" he assured them, and both responded well, changing articulation and tone easily (it is essential for master class candidates not to over-learn their pieces, so that they retain flexibility and are not so wedded to their settled way with the music as to be unable to experiment with new ideas). He wanted 'more sound' in the Appassionata's ff , finding the player at first 'too considerate, too musical'! The student explained that he was worried about being 'too aggressive'. There was detailed discussion of tempi.
