Claudio Arrau is one of the greatest pianists of ever and ever. For me he is the greatest of all pianists. His only way to understand Beethoven is unique, his spirituality and emotionality superb. His musical line ascends to Franz Liszt. The Sonata Opus 11 is not about dead, but about life ! but not this life, some thing transcending it at all...

@stevej061069 I am afraid that more likely it would be Beethoven who get annoyed to unexpectedly encounter ordinary man in exaltation state of mind, who were expecting to see somebody like Schwarzenegger.

By the way, I don't think people really point this out much, compared to the "jazz variation", but in this second half of the piece, Beethoven also pioneers ambience.

@TheJoyfulPianist It is hard to hold back tears when listening to or playing this.

@Gibson29 Coming back to this recording half a year later, I have to say that it now it surpasses the Ashkenazy recording I love so much. I don't have my CD case here with me but I believe it was recorded sometime between 1974-1982 with the Decca Record Co.

The ending makes me so happy :D

I loooove the left hands playing beginning at 2:54 - this wonderful unbelievable wave. Beethoven wrote music like I am - it is my music.
When 25 I started playing piano with his moonlight sonata. I never had piano lessons but I *wanted* to play it and i got it.
I hope one far day I will have the honor to play this sonata - his master piece ...
Thank you Ludwig, for all the moments you took me out of my life up to the stars.
And thank you Claudio - he would have been very satisfied with you :-)

I wouldn't want to meet Beethoven. it might spoil the magic to see that he was actually an ordinary man, small, nothing outstanding to behold. I would maybe love to be able to view him discreetly from a distance, but actually meet him ? No. let's retain the spellbinding magic of this music for what it is. Superhuman, incapable of being penned by an ordinary mortal.
