  • @ntoddparsons Gilels was the first performer of this sonata.

  • Such a great piece!...and I've never heard Gilels play it. The only performance I know well is Ashkenazy's. This Gilel performance is a fantastic - much more viceral power than Ashenazy's. Thank you for posting it!

  • Thanks for uploading! I think, this is the only rendition on YT that can rival Richter's performance in depth. Too much coughing on this live recording, though :-(

  • Thanks for sharing! I also uploaded the studio version. Gilels is truly the best on this masterpiece.

  • ultimate

    

  • Finally!!!

    Thanks a lot!!!

  • Lovely post, thanks!
