With this, her 4th disc in a planned cycle of all Beethoven’s sonatas, Kodama makes her bid to compete with her illustrious teachers. But while one cannot fault her polished technique or emotional playing, Kodama’s Beethoven is not yet ready to join benchmark recordings by Schnabel, Kempff, Brendel, & others on the top shelf. Kodama’s chosen repertoire is taken from the earliest of Beethoven’s published sonatas, the 3 from Opus 2, but she plays them with an interpretive weight more appropriate to the more substantial later sonatas. The opening F minor Sonata has the relentless strength of the Tempest Sonata in its closing Prestissimo, the central A major Sonata has the unflagging intensity of the Appassionata Sonata in its central Largo, & the closing C major Sonata has the emotional weight of the Waldstein Sonata, especially in its ecstatic conclusion. These are fine qualities on the surface, but the relatively light content of the early sonatas does not yield them naturally, & Kodama appears to be reaching to create weight & solemnity where elegance & wit might be more appropriate. SACD sound puts Kodama & her Steinway in the room with the listener.
