Louis Lortie: The Complete Beethoven Sonatas

In the early months of 2020, Louis Lortie inaugurated his dazzling full set of Beethoven sonatas in front of enraptured live audiences—part of a year of festivities for the composer's 250th birthday—at the Bourgie Hall in Montreal. Though circumstances forced Lortie to continue the series without the captivated crowds, he completed the 32-sonata cycle in the same stunning hall, with passion and dynamism to spare.
