Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli plays Sonata No. 3 in C Major for Piano, Op. 2, No. 3, III. Scherzo (Allegro)
(Beethoven)
From: VAI DVD 4213 Two Titans of the Keyboard
Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli (1920-1995) was, paradoxically, one of the most celebrated and one of the most reclusive pianists of his time. His fabled technique and peerless musicianship earned him attention early on as the undisputed winner of the 1939 Geneva International Music Competition. One of the jury members was Alfred Cortot, who announced "A new Liszt is born!". To the frustration of his public, Michelangelis studio recordings were few and his concert appearances sporadic: his brief recital for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (taped in the Toronto studios, 1970) was appropriately titled "A Most Rare Event". It features a sterling performance of Beethovens Piano Sonata No. 3 in C Major, Op. 2, No. 3.
Approx. 65 minutes, Color/Black & White.
DVD also features performace from Sviatoslav Richter

I can play this piece. And it's awesome. And this guy seriously needs to put more emotion into it. It's so full of spirit. Although it's still played amazingly. End of story. ^_^

Sounds more like Bach. I'm illiterate, I suppose.
