After Pollini already recorded Beethoven's sonatas Nos. 28 and 29 back in 1977, he does so again in 2022 to elicit the last secrets from these late sonatas in a new interpretation. Like all of Beethoven's late sonatas, these defied the formal conventions common to the genre and were ahead of their time. Beethoven no longer cared about constraints in society and music, instead giving free rein to his subjective feelings.
