Michel Dalberto - Beethoven: Pathétique, Funèbre, Clair de Lune & Appassionata (2019)

For his first CD with La Dolce Volta, Michel Dalberto invites us on a breathtaking journey into Beethoven’s ever-changing universe. He has chosen five sonatas from different periods. They reveal, in the pianist’s own words, the “gigantic scope of the composer’s imagination.”
