This is ridiculous. How can you even call this Beethoven's Appassionata if you throw out everything that he meant to be in this piece?

Could this be Narcisisstic Personality Disorder manifested in a musician? Whatever disorder it is this is obviously mentally ill.

@MrFortepianist richters appasionata is the best though

I think that he shouldn't play every music in adagio. It sometimes make the tune strange. But everyone has their STYLE!!

I am sorry -- I do not mean to be disrespectful or rude -- but this is simply grotesque. There is no concept of the music here, nor any respect for Beethoven's markings. On top of that, it is very sloppy playing.

This sounds like Glenn Gould without the genius.
Every single version that I have heard of this piece, viz. Horowitz, Rubenstein, Kissin, Lang-Lang, etc., they all sound the same; this Gentleman, Mr. Messulam, at least to my ears, those of a non-musician/player or writier of music, but as an admirer of such, seems as though he is striking the Keys without so much of the superficial /glaze/ that so many performers have; it simply seems that this Gentleman is performering as if he has /discarded/ all notions except those of the composer.
