Pulling Beethoven from candlelit reverence and hurling him into the hedonism of the bass pits, she proved how far orchestral gravitas can be twisted without snapping. The ornate grace of the original sonata crashes headlong into juggernaut drops, string-swelled crescendos are swallowed by sonic filth, and spatial effects stretch the drama until it feels near-operatic. It is cerebral, monstrous, and knowingly excessive, as though she produced it with a Machiavellian grin. That grin was hard-earned.
