This is exactly how I imagine this should be...scrambling and frantic, like the pianist's grasp on the melody is threatening to disintegrate at any moment.
The other versions are too polite and "affected" for me. caged and tamed and void of power.

Это не захватывающе, это гениально. В наше время так легко раздают громкие эпитеты посредственности а подлинных гениев обходят молчанием

La mejor version que he oido en mi vida de esta sonata. Gracias.Impresionante.
Best version ever. Thank you.

This, along with Tamas Vasary's version, are the bests. They play it with their hearts and not their fingers
-
probably the best interpretation of this composition. Gilels plays it with such wonderful dynamic differences. brilliant performance

Completely explodes the myth of EG as "the lyricist." This guy defied every label and flew out of every pigeonhole. That's what artists do, and this one could no more be pinned down than could Beethoven himself. No matter what EG played, he found the unique channel to the very heart of the composition and the composer.

ladies and gentlemen.....THIS IS BEETHOVEN ! the best ever.....
I don't know noting about piano music, but this is absolutely amazing. So heart-felt and intense, it really touches you, no, it pierces you.
