This, by far, has been the best interpretation of the movement-- not too fast, not too slow. It truly conveys the melancholic mood of the composer.

None have touched this earth in such a way as Beethoven.

Elly is by far the best performer on Beethoven's. And this number is no exception. Straight forward and yet full of soul and feeling. just Great !!!

his music cam straight from God. Man I love his work--and Elly is awesome!

@McRocket Great interpretation. But check out Radu Lupu's which is slower still, and the slowest rendering there is that I know of, of the 2nd movement at approximately 7minutes. Lupu's may just be the best , the slow pace bringing out subtle nuances.

I've been listening to versions of this on YouToub by legendary pianists, up and coming youngsters and talented amateurs, but in my opinion this is clearly the best interpretation here.

The thing about playing at different speeds is that it can bring about different moods in the piece. This one's a lot more subtle and gentle. so it gives a nice warm feeling.

I would have loved to watch her play this :)

Leave it to a woman to play this beautiful piece far better then any man, to me (that I have heard); and I am male. Too bad she was a Nazi, but a beautiful interpretation, imo.
