  • a true artist! I love when he plays Brahms! It´s so profound, like his Beethoven!

  • @paradiddleday I recently heard his recording of the G major concerto very masterful and musical interpretation. I will check out the Diabelli variations. Thanks for pointing me in that direction.

  • @TJFNYC212 You should check out his remastered recording of the Diabelli variations. His original vinyl was my first introduction to the piece and I have never found another I liked better. IMHO, his performance is to Diabelli as Gould's is to Goldberg.

  • @Aimiklingsor93 I agree with his being underrated. I, most recently, picked of a CD of his with about 10 sonatas............. all great interpretations...............­.... I particularly liked the Tempest and Les Adieux

  • @Trompetabc No one??

  • Fantastic pianist !!!

  • one of my very favourite pianists. deserves a medla for playing with such sensitivity

  • I agree with the strong praise below but would point out that his technique may be beginning to fail him a bit. He did in the later 1960s / early 1970s an Op 111 that is hair-raising, the best recording ever (imo), and much other Beethoven that is quite better technically and interpretatively than his recent good ventures. Also a Diabelli. Check it out if you possibly can (Phillips Great Artists of the Century etc.): the boogie-woogie variations in Op 111/2 and Diab 16, totally Jerry Lee Lewis.
