Everything proceeds in a faultless flow of sound & in this sense her credentials are impeccable. Never bearing down heavily on the music, she always allows Beethoven his own voice.” (Gramophone, March 2011) “Kodama immediately earns the listener’s attention with a poised & well-observed account of the 1st movement of the G major Sonata, Op. 78. The following Andante is made limpidly expressive, & a nimble & truculent finale, in which Kodama’s tempo & dynamic variances are arresting & convincing, rounds the work off. This sets the pattern for a very enjoyable recital during which Kodama unfailingly judges things to a nicety. She finds depth of utterance at the opening of the F sharp work, & then her measured speed for the Allegro (here very much ‘ma non troppo’) is very affecting. Throughout, what really comes across is her affection for the music, her wish to give it time so that we may enjoy its shape, harmonies & details. She has the imagination & confidence to point things up without exaggeration & to reveal just how much there is in these seemingly slight works, an abundance of invention & development thereof.” (Colin Anderson, International Record Review, November 2010) “Kodama is equipped to deliver as few pianists on the present scene are, include style, sensitivity to nuance, the ability to discern when to provide a lighter touch and when to apply a bolder characterization, the ability to let the individual melodic line sing forth in all its glory or subside into one of those Beethoven silences that can be more eloquent than sound.” (Dr. Phil Muse, Audio Video Club of Atlanta, October 2010) Tracks: Piano Sonata No. 25 in G, Op. 79 1 Presto alla tedesca Listen 2 Andante Listen 3 Vivace Listen Piano Sonata No. 24 in F sharp, Op. 78 “For Therese” 4 Adagio cantabile – Allegro ma non troppo 5 Allegro vivace Piano Sonata No. 9 in E, Op. 14, No. 1 6 Allegro 7 Allegretto 8 Rondo (Allegro comodo) Piano Sonata No. 10 in G, Op. 14, No. 2 9 Allegro 10 Andante 11 Scherzo (Allegro assai) Piano Sonata No. 19 in G minor, Op. 49 No.1 12 Andante 13 Rondo (Allegro) Piano Sonata No. 20 in G, Op. 49 No.2 14 Allegro ma non troppo 15 Tempo di Menuetto ** zebedee ** http://www.filefactory.com/folder/8d47392830a89c0e -------------------------------------------------------------- Checksum for iso: b54f6f44282758426c277aac17d97503 *Mari Kodama - Beethoven Piano Sonatas 25, 24, 9, 10, 19, 20.iso Checksums for flac tracks Mch: 71ac917ddea89e27ce54767442763a28 *01 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 25 in G, Op. 79 - Presto alla tedesca.flac c9a2ef864273e754c2869e24e6cee3dc *02 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 25 in G, Op. 79 - Andante.flac da37f5e41ae5176a15b2e79145d1f73a *03 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 25 in G, Op. 79 - Vivace.flac 3a3beffa4e5468d8c4e3439f0e4f41e2 *04 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 24 in F sharp, Op. 78 For Therese - Adag.flac 7b6aadbd91c06a35245009d5fa0824e1 *05 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 24 in F sharp, Op. 78 For Therese - Alle.flac bb875fde562c21ec588c9fc5d8917ffd *06 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 9 in E, Op. 14, No. 1 - Allegro.flac 9962a078b600594a826731767724e516 *07 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 9 in E, Op. 14, No. 1 - Allegretto.flac 52b82d372df969240b3183101b0d0e56 *08 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 9 in E, Op. 14, No. 1 - Rondo (Allegro com.flac 6aac8f32ef2d87eb5939b22d439fb8d2 *09 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 10 in G, Op. 14, No. 2 - Allegro.flac 5122b754dae66ced5efc6341bda4961a *10 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 10 in G, Op. 14, No. 2 - Andante.flac 1df6bc8db9026fcdf9caa771e9e31052 *11 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 10 in G, Op. 14, No. 2 - Scherzo (Allegro.flac c3f3d7deafa24aff4c9cc6459a5611dc *12 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 19 in G minor, Op. 49 No.1 - Andante.flac 2381eab4eb320cf4c097401b5619f635 *13 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 19 in G minor, Op. 49 No.1 - Rondo (Allegr.flac 38b8ea91c6349f291eff7a6289b0a63f *14 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 20 in G, Op. 49 No.2 - Allegro ma non trop.flac 27d0e8370c024237d3b111b49a69cfbb *15 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 20 in G, Op. 49 No.2 - Tempo di Menuetto.flac Checksums for flac tracks 2ch: 27206885d6dbe2a3d85882155f360178 *01 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 25 in G, Op. 79 - Presto alla tedesca.flac af7e1996c749951602bd724687c9abd1 *02 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 25 in G, Op. 79 - Andante.flac fa727a9d2a13388a84929b772716b362 *03 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 25 in G, Op. 79 - Vivace.flac 26d7171ca2ad8d754feb1d0a64c4798c *04 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 24 in F sharp, Op. 78 For Therese - Adag.flac e50deaa67d3cca42e4523531425dea65 *05 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 24 in F sharp, Op. 78 For Therese - Alle.flac bdd278bd4c8a364e4b68a3418dfa935a *06 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 9 in E, Op. 14, No. 1 - Allegro.flac 684431b3f57e2916094040ab7b4d2ffd *07 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 9 in E, Op. 14, No. 1 - Allegretto.flac 9cd051d814e4d1341e97217a9f15ba00 *08 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 9 in E, Op. 14, No. 1 - Rondo (Allegro com.flac ac22bb04bc0db6851dc8702248c3352b *09 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 10 in G, Op. 14, No. 2 - Allegro.flac 42b4ff30d3fef3a1f361bde00aff7d93 *10 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 10 in G, Op. 14, No. 2 - Andante.flac d7fea2c6a959448c7be1a3347688c5c9 *11 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 10 in G, Op. 14, No. 2 - Scherzo (Allegro.flac d65027b5af12b5fe795fc19e8c256018 *12 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 19 in G minor, Op. 49 No.1 - Andante.flac cd69acaebca8f35b9864319e0c00dfad *13 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 19 in G minor, Op. 49 No.1 - Rondo (Allegr.flac 2a9e9f5cd6c71c615eb0f96ec8049453 *14 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 20 in G, Op. 49 No.2 - Allegro ma non trop.flac 3ca1b61d3c08bf46d28a9924be903f12 *15 - Mari Kodama - Piano Sonata No. 20 in G, Op. 49 No.2 - Tempo di Menuetto.flac
