Frederic Lamond (1868-1948): Beethoven - Sonata no.31 (2/4)

[LUDWIGfreeOFidolatry]

I award this 4 1/2 SCHINDLERS.He brings a fanulously improvisational sense to this and his downbeats are much lighter than the normally disgusting display of heavily predictable sforzandi rumbling down the road like a King Tiger Tank.There is an interesting mix of Jocose conviviality mixing something ominous and desperately pining in the background.This traditional approach to Beethoven was gradually made illegal starting in the Conservatories in the last decades of the 19th century.
