Beethoven: Piano Sonatas / Ott

Alice Sara Ott

Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 3 in C major, Op. 2 No. 3 Piano Sonata No. 21 in C major, Op. 53 'Waldstein' Andante Favori in F, Wo057 Rondo a capriccio in G major, Op. 129 ‘Rage over a lost penny'

Following the success of her previous Deutsche Grammophon recordings (4778095, 4778362, 4778779), Alice Sara Ott embraces two milestones of piano literature: Beethoven’s Sonatas in C major, summarizing different phases of the composer’s life. Sonata op. 2 no. 3, written in his mid-twenties, is ripe with youthful spirit, wit, and force. The “Waldstein” op. 53 was composed in his thirties when Beethoven was struggling with impending deafness. Additionally, Alice Sara Ott selected the fierce Rondo “Rage over a Lost Penny” dating from Sonata op. 2’s time, and the beautiful Andante favori, originally written as the Waldstein’s slow movement.
