Stephen Kovacevich just released the Complete Cycle of Beethoven Sonatas. Has anyone heard them, if so, are they worth buying? I would be interested to hear his...'interpretations'. By the way, interesting interview with Kovacevich in Pianist Maga

I have not heard them either, and was wondering the same (already have too many versions of the sonatas, should I get this one as well). Someone on another thread ("Overrated pianists") considered it dreadful though.
