Amazing.

@endofthecorridor Yes, I believe the audio was fine before mastering. On my DVD it seems slightly worse on the surround track than on the stereo, so I selected the stereo track to transcode. I use dvd::rip, and in this case chose MP3 encoding @ 256 kbit / 44.1kHz, quality = 1, without filtering, but with a volume rescale of 0.8. This went some way to giving what I think is a more natural sound, and, while forceful, still I don't think ZK indulges in banging or thumping.

@guestworker I think its the compression rather than the original recording. You can hear the limiter jumping in right from the opening two octaves. The Fsharp 0:11-0:12 actually crescendos instead of its natural decay! It's deadly for the crucial sudden contrasts in Beethoven. Your Arietta video sounds much better - 7:23 for example. Is it ripped from the DVD too? What did you do to it?

Thanks, trevmpo123!
I too find it to be a wonderful performance, but if the current video was pulled from the same recital DVD as I own, and thus shares the somewhat disappointing sonics, then I am tempted to suggest the perceived "banging" is greatly exacerbated by the recording itself, and not the fault of Mr. Kocsis' very well-controlled and wide dynamic range. Please cf. Mvmt. II in "video responses" where I've tried to negate to some extent these nasty audio gremlins in the Arietta.

Zoltan is one of the handful of the great pianists of our time.

2nd movement?

Kocsis is a wonderful pianist - but here, there is too much thumping for my taste.

But he is not deaf. Hahaha.
