Igor Levit's work on the 32 Beethoven Piano Sonatas has been the most important endeavour of the past 15 years of his life. This autumn will see his new studio recording of the complete sonata cycle released on Sony Classical on September 13 and represents the recorded testament to almost half his life spent in the study and performance of these sonatas. The release of this momentous 9-album cycle is one of the most eagerly awaited recordings for the 250-year Beethoven anniversary.

Levit will perform the complete sonata cycle over the next two seasons in Luzern's KKL (launching in August), Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie (launching in September) and Stockholm's Konserthuset (launching in February 2020). He will also present all-sonata recitals, amongst others, at New York's Carnegie Hall, Washington's Kennedy Center, Chicago Symphony Center and San Francisco Symphony's Davies Hall in May 2020 - more tour dates below.

International release date: 13 Sep 2019

Video producer: Boris Fromageot
