Bernard Roberts has long been acknowledged as one of Britain’s finest pianists. A particularly profound interpreter of Beethoven, his recording of the complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas for Nimbus has been given the highest praise in Europe and America as well as in Britain. He made history by recording the first ‘direct-to-disc’ Beethoven cycle for Nimbus in the late 1970s and then went on to record the first CD cycle (available on NI 1774). His more recent recordings of Bach, The Well Tempered Clavier (NI 5608/9) and The Complete Partitas (NI 5673/4) have received wide critical acclaim.
