From the notes: "The Beethoven Sonatas Claudio Arrau [1903-1991] played on his tours during the last thirty years of his life were selected. The most frequently played were Opp. 10/3, 27/1, 53 and 81a plus, of course, Opp. 109, 110 and 111. There were also a few performances of Opp. 7 and 31/3. Thus, there was considerable interest when Arrau restored the sonata Op. 2/3 to his active repertoire in the 1973-75 season. … Amongst the solo works of Brahms, he played only the Haendel Variations, Op. 24 until in his 70th year when, for the 1972-73 season he brought the Sonata Op.5 into his repertoire" Notes by Peter Warwick

Again both recordings on this CD are from live performances. In the notes, as in the prior volume, Peter Warwick has reproduced parts of Claudio Arrau's discussions on the performance of both these works as held with Joseph Horowitz. The performance of the Brahms Sonata comes from Arrau's 75th birthday recital in New York City. Transcribed from the notes of the Beethoven Sonata cycle recorded for Philips during 1964-5, Arrau wrote of the Sonata Op. 2/3: "This is the grandest of the first three piano Sonatas, Op. 2, which Beethoven composed at the age of 25. It is his first fully virtuosic sonata and he revels in it, especially at the beginning of the development and at the end of the first movement … the vital Beethoven side is already in evidence. The whole marvelous symphonically developed movement, from the first theme to the great coda, bears testimony, even at this early date, to the bigness of mind at work as well as to the grand scope of design." Regarding Brahms, he said "For me [the slow movement] it is the most beautiful love music after Tristan. And the most erotic - if you really let go, without any embarrassment. And if you play it slowly enough."
Enjoy!
