Review By Alan Becker,American Record Guide,July 2012

…I will comment in some detail and begin by mentioning that Korstick gets through the Hammerklavier…The first movement’s Allegro whizzes by in less than 9 minutes that at first seems like a “bat out of hell” approach. That Korstick is able to pull it off without technical mishaps is testament to his extraordinary digital abilities. With all of the vigor and speed, he does manage to show some restraint in passages that beg for greater lyricism. It is definitely a performance of great dynamism, and one thrilling to hear. While the composer himself supplied metronome markings, most believe the ones in the faster movements to be unplayable. Apparently Korstick is out to prove them wrong.

Review By GdH,ConcertoNet.com,April 2012

Chez Oehms, Michael Korstick présente, quant à lui, le dixième volume de son intégrale, dont le pivot est la Hammerklavier. Les…mouvements sont…caractérisés par la vivacité des tempos, la constante agitation des poignets, la souplesse et la clarté de la sonorité: un Beethoven musclé et diablement rythmique! L’interprète assume ses choix (se référant aux indications métronomiques de Beethoven), mais si l’on salue le tour de force (reposant sur une technique accomplie et un vrai talent narratif…), ce Beethoven nous laisse au bord de l’autoroute des sentiments et de la profondeur… © 2012 ConcertoNet.com

Review By Remy Franck,Pizzicato,April 2012

Diese CD aus der Korstickschen Beethoven-Gesamtaufnahme enthält Einspielungen, die bereits auf einem anderen Label veröffentlicht wurden. Mittelpunkt dieses Volume 10 ist die Sonate Nr. 106, die ‘Große Sonate für das Hammerklavier’.
