"Brautigam's Beethoven is more than just a compelling case for period pianos"
(Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine Dec 2008)

MusicWeb - Recording of the Year 2008

"That takes us neatly to the two 'big' famous sonatas on the disc. I really love the feeling of nervous energy that Brautigam imparts in both, particularly the 'Waldstein'. If you're collecting this cycle, you'll probably already have this. If you haven't, and want the treat of hearing familiar music re-invented as new before your very ears, do buy this disc. Excellent audio quality as usual and stimulatingly different liner notes just put the icing on the cake."
(MusicWeb Nov 2008)

"Brautigam's Beethoven is more than just a compelling case for period pianos...it is rather terrific, Brautigam's crisp, agile and endlessly sensitive way with these sonatas providing a good period-instrument foil for Paul Lewis's recent Gramophone Award-winning collection."
(Editor's Choice Gramophone Magazine Dec 2008)
