The 32 Piano Sonatas of Ludwig van Beethoven form a cosmos that Hans von Bülow—an emblematic figure of the 19th-century musical world—called the “New Testament,” referring to the “Old Testament,” which for him was The Well-Tempered Clavier by Johann Sebastian Bach.

The carefully considered concentration of thematic and motivic material established by Joseph Haydn, the melodic fluidity and fullness inherited from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the vigorous impulse characteristic of the sonatas of Muzio Clementi, and the expressive depth of the late sonatas of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach were all models for the young Beethoven.

Yet from these first three sonatas onward, something new emerges in the form of such energetic propulsion that it immediately stamps them with a unique imprint. The middle movements, from a formal point of view, venture onto new paths and constitute some of the masterly pages of these works.

Although it has sometimes been customary—following the formula of Franz Liszt—to classify the 32 sonatas into three parts: the adolescent (Op. 2 to Op. 28), the man (Op. 31 to Op. 90), and the god (Op. 101 to Op. 111), the primary characteristic of this complete recording is the exceptional maturation of its conception, and the way Claudio Arrau unifies the entire cycle of sonatas, presenting them as a book whose reading can only begin at the beginning, where each chapter is inseparable from the one before it and the one that follows.

Claudio Arrau adopts broad and generous tempos, employing phrasing of striking originality. The chosen perspective is that of a great poetic narrative; rhetorical eloquence and dramatic atmosphere recede in favor of a radiant and meditative light. The quality of his touch and phrasing is absolutely phenomenal; his legato playing here takes on almost post-Romantic proportions. For his libertarian style, with its rubato assoluto, he may be placed alongside the great symphonies conducted by Wilhelm Furtwängler. 

The sound quality of this edition surpasses all others and unifies five years of recording sessions.

Great value, does the job
Paper plates can vary widely with individual plate strength, resistance to sogginess, size and more. These are plain paper plates that we use in a plastic holder. Nothing special, but they do the job as expected. The real selling points are the fit in my holder (these are appropriately snug suggesting size integrity) and do they hold up long enough for a meal. Thumbs up in both respects. They are standard thickness, so you can expect them to work with light loads. Plunk some heavy food on the plate and you better either double-up or use a holder like I do. The one thing I don't like is the difficulty in separating out individual plates. Without this effort you inevitably peel out 2-4 plates at a time. (Maybe these are supposed to be double layer? Could be.) The best reason for buying this set is the low cost per plate. We use these for every meal when it is just my wife and I and go through a lot of plates. The value for the money can not be beat.

Sturdy paper plates
I ordered "too" heavy paper plates. A paper plate is used daily to zap my bacon in folded over paper towel. I use them daily for various kitchen tasks.
