"There are, of course, many fine recordings of these works on record, especially of the Spring Sonata, so, as much as I've enjoyed this new recording, I'll always want to hear some older favorites too ... But for the present recording, I'll reiterate my earlier very positive characterization of the album as containing "extremely vital performances, characterized by brio-infused allegros and flowing adagios which still capture the depth and breadth of Beethoven's writing"".
