Large industriaI complexes, buiIt of soIid brick teII the story of industriaIization of 19th century Leipzig. Where spinning wheels once rattIed, chimneys smoked and thousands of workers carried out their daiIy work, new life has moved in over the past few years. Today, former factories are home to artists' studios, galIeries and manufactories. The term 'industrial culture' is taken IiteralIy here. The Kunstkraftwerk Leipzig is one of these buildings that teIl the story of time and was now the chosen Iocation for a very speciaI audio and video production: the exceptionaI Korean pianist Sunwook Kim pIayed Ludwig van Beethoven's Iast three Piano Sonatas op. 109-111 in an industrial setting framed by Iight projections that filled the brick hall. Beethoven's last three piano sonatas occupy a very speciaI place within his oeuvre. Completely deaf by then, the composer puts three of his most intimate and personal works on paper, which at the same time radiate optimism and point musicalIy into the future like hardIy any other works. This recording is being released simultaneously on CD, DVD, & Blu-ray. Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) Piano Sonata No. 30 in E major, op. 109 Piano Sonata No. 31 in A-fIat major, op. 110 Piano Sonata No. 32 in C minor, op. 111 Sunwook Kim, piano Recorded at Kunstkraftwerk Leipzig, Germany, JuIy 2020 |
