“...not merely brilliant pianism but–more of a rarity–revelatory music-making"
Bernard Jacobson
“The first thing one registers in Daniel Levy’s Beethoven is its exceptional clarity of articulation....he justifies yet another recording of these much-recorded works.”

IN LOVING MEMORY OF ALICE HERZ-SOMMER

Alice was the oldest holocaust survivor and sadly passed away in 2014.
She adored Beethoven’s music and Daniel Levy had the privilege to play Beethoven for her when she was 108 years old.
This recording is dedicated to her life.
