The recordings were done between 1975 and 2014, and as a rule every sonata was played in concerts many times over many years before the recording. Needless to say that Mr. Pollini's mastery of the piano reached a level that is technically near perfection and thus very hard to exceed.The product: The cover shows a nice photo, but the overall presentation is of the average (poor) quality that became standard now-a-days, that is a rather fragile card box containing 8 CDs in plain card sleeves and a booklet with a list of tracks, recording dates, and a well-written but rather superficial essay by Paolo Petazzi introducing Beethoven's sonatas. The liner notes of the original album releases were made available on-line at the Deutsche Grammophon site (how long will this information be available?). All recordings have been previously released (the latest album was released almost simultaneously with this box). One recording of each sonata was included, the latest recording being chosen when more than one was available (that was the case in Sonatas # 11, #17, and #21). Sonatas #12 and #21 were presented in live recordings, and the overall sonatas in studio recordings.What you don't get in this box: The original albums (10 CDs in 9 albums, plus a bonus CD accompanying one of the albums) include studio recordings of Sonatas #17 and # 21, a live recording of Sonata #11, and a bonus CD with live recordings of Sonatas #23 and #24 that were not included in the box. The original album with live recordings of Sonatas #11, #12, and #21 includes the music scores with synchronized playing cursor ("CD-pluscore") that is also missing (Addendum: That album was released in 1998; the "CD-pluscore" function is not supported in recent Windows versions).Summarizing, 5 stars for the music, interpretations, and recording quality, but only 3 stars for the physical product presentation, considering its durability and lack of extra material. ### ⭐⭐⭐ the playing is excellent, but does nobody else find the audible mannerisms ... *by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 7 January 2016* Of course, the playing is excellent, but does nobody else find the audible mannerisms of so many pianists a distraction and an irritation? The particular beauty of recordings can be that, unlike in the concert hall, they can be heard in a purity of silence, so it is disappointing when the interpreters lack the self-discipline to play in silence. Pollini's very audible and emphatic intakes of breath overlay the recordings, as does frequent tuneless hummings and background audible expressions of emotion. I had hoped for a silent set of recordings since in the Brendel set which I also have, his accompanying whimperings, sobbings, gruntings and hummings have become a profound irritation (albeit his interpretation is probably nonetheless unsurpassed). Does nobody in the recording process have the courage to confront the egos and tell them to be quiet for the sake of the purity of the recordings? Or do they do this because they want their presence to be noticed in addition to the music? They manage to restrain themselves when when they are playing as accompanists or in chamber music. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by H***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 23 November 2016* Item very good value for money.
