Claudio Arrau – The Final Sessions Vol. 5: Beethoven (1994)

Fabulous set of the complete Beethoven piano sonatas from the late Danish pianist Anne Oland. At this incredibly low price, you might be forgiven for thinking there is a catch. The only drawback of this set is the absence of any liner notes, but this repertoire is so well known that you can quickly find information about any of the sonatas from other sources. The quality of the playing and recorded sound are superlative throughout. A pianist of real distinction who sadly passed away in 2015.
