On this release, John O'Conor features what he does best, Beethoven. O'Conor is known by some as a pianist who is carrying on the legacy of Wilhelm Kampff, having recorded the complete Beethoven Sonatas and Concertos. "This artist has the kind of flawless touch that makes an audience gasp" - Washington Post

"John O'Conor's 2016 release for Steinway & Sons offers a spontaneous and fluid performance that ranges in expression from humorous and mercurial in the early variations, to profound and awe-inspiring from the midpoint on, and he displays a fine balance between vigorous virtuosity and sublime restraint. Steinway & Sons provide clean and crisp sound, so all the details and nuances in O'Conor's sensitive playing are easily heard. Highly recommended, especially for fans of this amazing piece." - AllMusic Review
