I've learned this music, and I love playing it. But what else could I possibly learn next that is as beautiful as this?

Try the 1928 Arrau version!

But this is superb too, though IMO sometimes it needs just a little more forward momentum.

She was underrated by some but her records show her to be a wonderful pianist. She was still playing exceptionally well till quite old - I see U have her Rachmaninoff  too , the preludes especially are worth listening to.

Beautiful! What superb fingering!

Thank you, Beckmesser!

Dame Moura had marvellous fingers!! I love her LH, and such a crystalline sound! Never heard it played so beautifully as this--thank you, Beckmesser!!!
