Canadian pianist Stewart Goodyear possesses a huge, dramatic sound, an elegant technique, and an omnivorous approach to keyboard music. Goodyear has attracted particular attention for his Beethoven “Sonatathons,” a term he coined to describe his epic performances of Beethoven’s complete piano sonatas in one day. Like Beethoven, Goodyear himself is a talented pianist-composer, frequently performing his own works in recital. His Gilmore program includes three of Beethoven’s best-loved sonatas — the “Tempest,” the “Moonlight,” and the “Appassionata” — juxtaposed with his own Rhapsody and Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso.
