Volume 2 of Bavouzet's Beethoven Piano Sonatas in fine form as with the first volume.  Bavouzet has chosen another fine sounding Steinway for this project.  The playing is subtle while mostly limiting a huge dynamic range.  Clarity and perfection are what comes across as well as a sense of purity and solid rhythmic control.  While he occasionally adds his own twists here and there with a rit. it is not overdone at all - he does not inject an overbearing personality over the music at least in my view.  Just very well done and competent in what we have come to expect from Bavouzet.

The Best of Jackson Browne. On CD from 1997. Continuing my renewed enchantment with the 5X since the SN2 arrived.
