Emil Gilels died suddenly in 1985. Together with Sviatoslav Richter he was one of the unquestionably great Russian pianists of the postwar Soviet era, and part of an outstanding generation of players from around the world. Probably his greatest recordings are his hugely distinguished accounts of the Beethoven piano sonatas, a cycle that remained unfinished at his death with five sonatas, including the first and last, Op 2 No 1 and Op 111, still to be recorded.
"... his Beethoven still remains peerless; it's one of the greatest sonata cycles ever recorded, and though incomplete, should be a part of everyone's Beethoven collection." — The Guardian
