Thank you- what a great pianist !!!!!

His appraoch to this movement is very deliberate and the effect is frightening like controlled madness on the edge of losing control.

This is the ultimate performance of this beautiful sonate!!!

I'm really impressed by Solomons interpretation of Beethoven sonates: he was truly great and should be watched more then just 294 times!

Thank you for posting the 2nd mvmt. His playing is deeply moving.

As Thomas Mann puts it:

"Op 111 brought the (classical) sonata as a form to an end..it had fulfilled its destiny, reached its goal, beyond which there was no going"
