Beethoven Piano Sonata #9 E Major, Op. 14, No. 9 - 3. Rondo Allegro Comodo by Daniel Barenboim

The third movement is a lively rondo. On its final return, the main theme is syncopated against triplets.

Apart from some passages in the rondo (such as the final return), the sonata is quite easy to play. Notwithstanding its seeming simplicity, this sonata introduces the "sturm und drang" character that became so commonly identified with Beethoven. He adds drama both in the contrast between the lyrical passages that follow very active, textured thematic sections. Furthermore, the contrasting dynamics and variation between major and minor, between using the parallel minor and the subdominant of its relative major (e-minor to C-major). These are new techniques that offer a hint of the innovations that Beethoven brought to end the Classical era and begin the Romantic era.

I'm pretty sure Daniel Barenboim played this, since it's in the tags.

Bravo! Only looked at the performance, the pianist expressed it so fluently with this faster-than-normal speed which made it even more lively and engaging. He did all the things I wanted to do in this piece perfectly and more! Which respectful pianist played this?
