for me this best interpretation i've ever heard in my life! what a genious Beethoven was. And Brendel.

[LaurenPoly12]

Beethoven is about to get a lot more popular among the teen generation, now that this piece was used in Lady Gaga's Marry the Night video

[Huddiethegreat]

@LaurenPoly12 Teen generation? I think you're referring to the retard generation

[iceman888able]

@Huddiethegreat Haha! That's funny. It saddens me that such great music has to be learned through pop music, but at least it is getting out there.

[OddQuibbler]

@Huddiethegreat not all teenagers are retarded.. At least I think I am not.. Lady Gaga is quite talented and good I got respect for her, and yes, that is good she put the song, maybe some people will get interest to know more about classical music. I honestly I do not like pop music, except for her, I'm 14 and I love classical music as Chopin, Rachmaninoff and Liszt.. I guess I just have culture and I'm intelligent..

[BananaHP]

@LaurenPoly12 I don't know about that. I doubt a lot of the people watching the video will know or care what song it is. Maybe I'm not giving people enough credit, but that's what I assume.

[Mirkwoodable]

does he play it fast enough?

[Blues20XX]

I would be absolutely THRILLED if this was available for download! Does anyone know where I can find it?

[bornacubbie]

@Blues20XX There is, in my opinion, a great collection from Daniel Barenboim on Itunes. The album is Beethoven: Moonlight, Pathetique, and Appassionata Sonatas.

[Blues20XX]

@bornacubbie Excellent. Thank you!

[pianoquest]

Where are the 2 other movements?

[yattaw]

This recording made me realize I had been playing it completely wrong

[lilithil]

@yattaw

Respect for talking about mistakes, bless ya^^

[FaithIsAnnoyed]

Brendel is the only pianist I trust to play Beethoven right.

[oncedidactic]

This is the closest to how I think it was meant to be played. One of my favourite albums ever. ;)

[Mo7amedHF]

Excellent and charming sound

[1810Chopiano]

WHY AREN'T THERE MORE VIEWS FOR THIS VIDEO!!! This is by far the best interpretation on youtube in my opinion. The nuances and sensitivity of touch in this is incredible.

[lienmoysam]

@1810Chopiano : I agree. This interpretation is perfect besides "Nuances and sensitivity of touch" as you say.

[outfidel]

Love this piece...especially when he kicks it in gear @ 2:15 :)

[koooraman]

This is an amazing interpretation!!! I am amazed

[peephole2008]

[HiSemra]
