一直以来，布伦德尔都是公认的20世纪乐坛上贝多芬钢琴音乐最重要的诠释者之一，同时也被认为是20世纪继施纳贝尔之后最优秀的贝多芬诠释者。他那三套能超越国界的《贝多芬钢琴奏鸣曲全集》更被视为重要的里程碑（第一套是1960年代VOX版、第二套是1970年代Philips版、第三套则是90年代的Philips版）。

相比于成熟的70年代和90年代版本，布伦德尔的第一套贝多芬钢琴奏鸣曲录音，由于录得早，在演录方面或许会令人感到不够火候，但是无论如何，我们仍能感受得到布伦德尔忠实弹出作品中简朴单纯的面貌，音乐就在这样率直坦白的乐风中发展，让乐迷在聆听时完全没有压力，就从最初的简单开始发展，在有限的时间内达到难以想象的丰富境地。
1960年代，布伦德尔在美国VOX唱片公司旗下录制了一系列唱片，共计录下超过四十张的LP，曲目则以德奥系作曲家的作品为主，这套录于1962-1964年间的贝多芬钢琴奏鸣曲便是其中之一，当时，以一个刚出道、三十出头的钢琴家来说，有唱片公司愿意替他出版贝多芬全集，若非慧眼独具，那么就是勇气十足！但就布伦德尔日后的成就来看，VOX确实发掘了一位世纪名钢琴家，这位大器晚成的钢琴巨匠，他朴实纯真与深刻的诠释，将贝多芬音乐中的情感与精髓，作了最直接与真实的表达。

由于其不断挑战灌录贝多芬的钢琴作品，使得人们纷纷赞誉道：“再也没有钢琴家会比布伦德尔更贴近贝多芬的音乐。”作为长期以贝多芬作品为演奏重心的钢琴家，布伦德尔早在1964年即已完成贝多芬钢琴音乐全集的录制，是历来钢琴家中的首位达成者。多年来，布伦德尔演奏的贝多芬钢琴奏鸣曲、协奏曲、小曲与变奏曲均得到广泛的肯定与重视，但他从未止步，仍不断地向自己已有的诠释挑战。
其实对于布伦德尔本人而言，重复挑战旧曲目，可以检视自己在艺术领域里的进步；那么对于听者而言，也能在其不同时期诠释的音乐之中获得不同程度的启发。

这套专辑中收录的贝多芬《第五号“”钢琴协奏曲》由祖宾·梅塔指挥维也纳交响乐团协奏，另外，《第三&四号钢琴协奏曲》则由海因茨·沃尔伯格（Heinz Wallberg）指挥维也纳交响乐团协奏。于此，布伦德尔明确而又恰到好处的触键以及细节处理将这些曲子的结构筑建得更加坚实，协奏者的诠释也深具正统之美，当属极力推荐之名演珍藏。
变奏曲则包括《英雄变奏曲》、《D大调变奏曲》、《F大调主题变奏曲》、《俄罗斯主题变奏曲》、《c小调32段变奏曲》等，曲目丰富程度一定令你满意，布伦德尔率直的演奏也将这些变奏曲的特色推向极致。
布伦德尔最大的特色是“理智”，但在智性之余，又全无刻板。细听可察觉到他演奏中所展现的音乐多样可能性与丰富表现力。许多钢琴家习惯将贝多芬诠释得激昂亢奋，听似声势浩大，实则单一扁平。布伦德尔自然是不欣赏这样的演奏的，他认可贝多芬作品是“兼融感官与理性、情感与思考力的音乐艺术”，他所追求的，即是将这样“立体”的贝多芬呈现在世人面前。

欣赏过布伦德尔在70~90年代录音的爱乐者们，如果错失他早期干净自然的琴声，以及心思细腻、格调高雅的演奏，则绝对会是聆听贝多芬钢琴音乐的一大憾事。
