Thank you Jonny, I really appreciate your kind words. I will eventually make it to the Appassionata (it is #26 on the list so it won't be too long), so I'll definitely take a look at what you wrote. It is my favorite Beethoven sonata, so I can't wait to read what you have to say about it.

The Eroica was rather exhausting, and even though I love it, I will now be taking a break from it for a while! I'm still learning a lot about the process of writing, and I'm learning so much all the time about the composers, the pieces of music, and the background history. But I'm enjoying it.

Thanks again for reaching out and for the encouragement! Be well.

I confess that I’m not a fan of Xavier Roth. He is currently “on the crest of the wave”, but untill now I have found his interpretations uninteristing and this one is no exeption. For my taste There are more convincing period instruments “Eroica”, for example Jordi Savall, and Andrew Manze: both with small orchestras but razor shape versions.
