  • Haydn's Piano Sonata in C HXVI No 50. 3rd movement - Allegro molto - just in case anyone is interested! This is masterful playing... complete control AND freedom of expression. What a beautiful choice of encore. Very witty too.

  • Wow, it's amazing how the orchestra won't stand up when he asks them at the end...it's like he's pulling teeth to get them to stand and receive the applause!

  • nice show

  • Truly outstanding performance. He does play it much more delicately - in the score Haydn marks "forte" for a few more sections than it is apparent in Brendel's version - but it serves a point. Bravo!

  • Oh my god. This is so fantastic. Brendel has a wonderful humour and intelligence to discover Haydn's jokes and present them witch such nonchalance

  • Some years ago I heard a phenomenal piano recital by Rudolf Serkin in Los Angeles. Some wonderful elderly ladies behind me tried to pay the ultimate complement " Nicht seit dem Schnabel". That certainly applies to this performance as well.

  • I do love how he finishes, so simply.

    Great carreer for a great man , BRENDEL .

  • You're actually both right about the number. "60" comes from the "Wiener Urtext" edition and "50" is the Hoboken number. It simply depends on which numbering system you find more reliable (and it's really inconsequential), but most pianists do, in fact, use the Hoboken number (and it's not considered "old", kid).

  • 0.48 hehe cuuuute !!!

  • the orchestra should have played something else in all that applause.....

  • I meant them to stand, not him to stand.
