  • The very very deep B he plays at 3:06 gives me the chills every time I listen to this sonata! That note here is one octave deeper than in the original, however it's a perfect sign for the Grandioso motive to start!

    Yundi Li intentionally takes the furious and dramatic part, that he plays before, into the Grandioso by playing this particular deep B as an end of the connection between the furious part and the Grandioso.

    It's great how he can so keep the drama of the music and cause goosebumps! :-)

  • This is a phenomenal performance.

  • Each time I come back to listen to this, makes me smile from ear to ear each time without fail =D Wonderful passion and wonderful interpretation from an amazing pianist! All these people caught up on a few wrong notes....lets see you try to play this live and have no mistakes whatsoever! *sigh* Just learn to enjoy the music rather than look for a persons mistakes!

  • where can I download this? best version of this sonata imo

  • @jgrab1 I'd say, that the best interpretation of this sonata was, when it was played by angry Liszt when Brahms had already fallen asleep :-D

  • the coughing @10.01  unbelievable ! ..... if you do that at such a sensitive dramatic moment in the piece you should not be sitting there !!!!

  • @jgrab1 I agree with you. No one heard all pianists playing that sonate.

    I think it is greatest recording I've ever heard, but at the same time, there is so much of things in sonata that could be expressed more nicely and could line some parts better together.

    I'm trying to do that, but it takes time : )

  • Sometimes this piece kinda sounds out of tune ... ( sometimes at the beginning )

  • @darrenabcd1 Yes, they all memorize each note. Best interpretation ever? You've heard them all since the sonata was written? How old are you? Just curious.

  • @jcasbell They all do. Kinda the point.

  • Brahms fell asleep while Liszt was playing this for the first time xD
