It is taking nine years – and nine discs – but pianist Jonathan Biss is nearing the end of his authoritative and highly praised Beethoven sonata cycle which he describes as “one of the most profound experiences of my life”. In this, the penultimate album, the 32-year-old American takes the Pathétique as the starting point and mother lode for the three sonatas – Nos 10, 22 and 31 – that accompany it.
