Wilhelm Kempff plays Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata mvt. 1

I dont know what everyone is talking about. He played it perfectly.

it reminds me of somebody...i let me feel her...

so beautiful, it gets me every time <3

dont say author (books, novels etc)....its composer (music) =)

I Can listen to this all day....
the Author! and the execution! Such a sensetive player!!! Brings tears 2 my eyes.... I can just imagine the mood of the Author writing this masterpiece!

This Is Simply a Proof of Greatness of the Humanity.....

Finally, someone that plays it at the right tempo, without excessive ralletandos... Beautiful. I simply love his rendition. And the third movement as well. This man is an exceptional player.

doc 105, the great bethooven, is he related to beethoven.

For Those People Who said he played it to fast he didn't i've played this song for over 3 years now and i still cant play it back with the exact same tone they way wilhem has executed is possibly the greatest yet i wish i could hear bethooven play this song

The sorrow in Kempff eye and his entire expression just takes this to another level. Can't believe too many criticise this fine play. Don't forget he is a legend of our time. Not many can meet his mastery.

Very well poised for being drunk. Thanks for the information. Need more intellectual comments like this. Sometime youtube isn't the best place to appreciate fine music. Too many loathers jumping to conclusion too early.
