The 32 piano sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven have been called ‘the New Testament of piano music', and belong to the most recorded repertoire of any instrument. With this disc, volume eight in his traversal of Beethoven's music for solo piano, Ronald Brautigam has reached the last of the 32, completing a sonata cycle which has made a great impression on all who have been following it.

BIS-CD-1602 ROMAN, J.H.: Royal Wedding Music (Helsingborg Symphony, Manze)
As befits a royal wedding, several days of celebrations will precede the ceremony in the 13th-century Stockholm Cathedral on Saturday. In a similar way, the 1744 marriage between Crown Prince Adolf Fredrik of Sweden and Lovisa Ulrika of Prussia was celebrated at the palace of Drottningholm with a number of balls, banquets and ceremonies. Music was an all-important feature, and among the works performed was Johan Helmich Roman’s Drottningholm Music – written for the occasion, and considered a milestone in the music history of Sweden. 276 years later, a new recording packaged in a tastefully designed wrapping, forms BIS’ contribution to the Royal Wedding of Crown Princess Victoria and Mr Daniel Westling. Performed by the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra under the acclaimed baroque violinist and conductor Andrew Manze, Roman’s suite is as festive and charming as ever.
