The Teaching company DVD of Beethoven Sonata's got me hooked on the Waldstein. I then heard a BBC lecture by Andreas Schiff on the Waldstein. That was two years ago. Since then I have heard many interpretations and I am smitten. I like the Barenboim video because I see his hands while playing some of the most difficult passages; however for clarity of performance, this one stands out.

I am currently studying this sonata (currently working on the first two movements with hope to learn the entire sonata as well). The clarity is flawless: every note is heard in this movement. This is one of my favorite Beethoven sonatas and I wish that this kind of music would be more appreciated these days compared to rap or hip-hop music. Those types of music do not completely fit my definition of music; they are called "noise" compared to this.

@Luketheedge AWESOME. my favorite part of this sonata, hands down. original, and most importantly, extraordinarily beautiful.

As for the octave glissandos, who gives a shit about C major scales, it's the least interesting part of the piece that wouldn't even be given a name or recognition if humans had four hands. There's more to music than technique people.
His tone is like bells ringing.
