Beethoven's "Adagio Un Poco Moso" played most elegantly, with grandiose valor, by the eccentric, contrapuntal, polyphonic Glenn Gould (Grieg's grandson): "Dimensioni di personalità... con l'aiuto di una lucida follia e dell'allegria infantile del genio."

  • I can understand your reaction. I think it is because Beethoven chooses the sacred key of B Major, which is as far away as it is possible to get from the heroic E flat of the Emperor concerto. As if the outer movements are about the heroism of war; the inner kernel about all the human suffering it causes. The first time I heard this was when an English conductor and pianist, John Russell, played it to me on his grand at his house - he wanted me to take it with me thereafter for ever in life.MS

  • This one makes me cry every time! It just pulls at my heartstrings like no other, and I can never keep from welling up in tears!! :-( (I think he seems especially sad playing this too)....
