It is. In fact, I think he's better in the concertos than the sonatas.  :)

Arrau or Backhaus, or both??

I meant Backhaus, but I think it might apply to Arrau as well. (I don't have Arrau's 1-3, but I love his 4 and 5)

Mmm, I think they both are equally good in the sonatas and concertos. My reference concerning Arrau´s concerti is the EMI set with Galliera and a live performance of the Emperor I attended long time ago.

This is a great way to have the sonatas and concertos in just one box.

I agree with Premont, I think Arrau is equally fine in both of them. But after all I am a Chilean and my taste in Beethoven is quite erratic. :)

I recently got Arrau's sonatas, so I will now get to hearing them, once I finish with Gulda's Orfeo set.

Looks like that Galleria/Arrau set is very OOP.  :-[
