Mirrors the perfect performance by Ponti; and somewhat proves that the pounding of Horowitz was not needed to make an impact.

@s1earle Horowitz does not pound, he interprets - needless to say Horowitz's interpretation is so much better than MAH or Ponti that it's a waste of time to compare :-)

@Bret6464 Seems surely that you are really uneducated in good music; Both Horowitz and Cziffra made their respective names with abundant technical accomplishments but both faltered poorly when the music demanded virtuosity - they had to resort to bombastics to get past the difficulties; this has been proven time and time again in their performances. Compare with the dynamics and good sounds coming from Backhaus, Kempff, Wild etc.: Now they and their peers were the performers of note...

@Bret6464 Do you read or just show your ills? - The peers of the pianists I mentioned also include the ones you mentioned - Gilels (and Richter), Moiseiwitsch, the great Alexis, and the list goes on: Kempff is one of the great talents perhaps more sonorous than "poor Hofmann" - best you get your finger out long enough to put your head in your ass, only then might your foul ears be your destiny...

@Bret6464 Yes you're right - if one mixes to a fool then one becomes one , even though one might be an unrespected elder of lacking experience - Yep, I'll take a cold shower and chill out...Sorry to have hit your spark of disrespect and foolishness...

wow! he sure has a way of making the sound so orchestral ... which is probably what rach intended with all those dense harmonies. He totally shreds that 3rd movement!!! ... I wonder if her ever recorded/played the 1st sonata ... it's even more orchestral than this one.

@nathanscoleman Unfortunately he hasn't played the 1st Sonata, or at least it wasn't recorded. I'd love to hear him playing that one, I like that Sonata so much.

@madlovba3 me too! It was the first Rach piece I ever spent my own money on ... I still have that Boosey & Hawkes blue copy!
nathanscoleman 6 months ago
@madlovba3 Indeed. The first is so special to me. I wonder why this one is historically more popular?

Marc andre has real power in his playing. No doubt about it. But the beauty of the slow section especially in building upto a climax is not bettered by Horowitz later version.
