  • Ah, Richter---always fascinating and usually (as in this case) utterly convincing in his Beethoven playing. Why is Kempff off? because he ignores all the contrasts in dynamics Beethoven asks for. Richter has absolute command of all these contrasts, and is deeply expressive (which Beethoven asks for ) in this strange and elusive sonata.

  • @lovesGenet Kempff seems way off? He's my favourite Beethoven player, always so much warmth and good humour, yet so deep! However, I wouldn't be surprised if it's very far removed from Cortot's approach!

  • I fell in love twice. Once for the piece, once for the interpretation.

  • I was given this sonata by a student of Cortot when I was about 20 .20 years later I still say it's so intense ,maybe morbid ,a mystery to me .Richter &Gilels best.Arrau,Barenboim . Kempf seems way off. Where is Kovacevich ?

  • Beethoven is a mad man .Nothing strict about him.Red some bios and the letters .Your conservatory will surprise you.Ask somebody who knows!

  • I think Richter is quite a good one.

  • Im learning this now, and I find that this is really a good example. I love how he does the tenths.

  • Another commanding performance by Richter.

    Imagine what this would sound like with better sound quality....

  • yeh most of us who download S.R do go a bit gaga. " mathemathically" it isn´t possible for a

     performer to outperform the composer. he can at least as we all like to think convey better interpretation than Beethoven ever could have heard.

  • Dear tchebinai71;

    There is a good Latin saying: Quod licet Jovi, поп licet bovi

    As students we all are required to perform within certain standards. This is the "due" one pays for the right to go beyond "traditions/limitations".
