Pianist Rudolf Serkin recorded the Beethoven piano sonatas "Waldstein" and "Appassionata" in 1986 and 1989, but they were only released on the occasion of his 120th birthday in 2023. Due to his progressive illness, the artist was unable to release the original tapes at the time, which is why they lay dormant in the archive for decades. Now his daughter has given her consent to the release by Deutsche Grammophon and has also written personal words for the accompanying booklet.
