Boris Giltburg has set out to study and film all of Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas by the end of 2020. The project started as a personal exploration, driven by curiosity and his strong love of the Beethoven sonatas. These performances display Giltburg's customary spirit and technical finesse, and also convey the electric atmosphere of the live recording. Volumes 1 and 2 can be heard on Naxos 9.70307 and 9.70308.

"In keeping with the character of both the Op 14 Sonatas, Giltburg's approach is prevailingly lyrical...For me, the two standouts of the series thus far are Opp 13 and 22. I can think of no other performance of the Pathétique that imbues the Grave introduction with a greater sense of melancholy desolation...The bright, ingratiating Op 22 is also brimful of character, its narrative unfolding with a charming urgency." - Gramophone
