Wilhelm Kempff plays "Scherzo, assai vivace" (Beethoven) from Sonata No.29 in B-flat Major, op. 106 "Hammerklavier"
From: VAI DVD 4283 Wilhelm Kempff plays Beethoven
Beethoven is the subject of this rare Kempff video from the rich archives of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporations French network. The great Hammerklavier Sonata (Op. 106) is here given a truly magisterial performance in which the astonishing complexities of this great work are elucidated in the hands of a supreme Beethoven interpreter. The G Major Rondo, on the other hand, played with elegant simplicity, aptly demonstrates the adage that less is often considerably more.

I love Kempff's Beethoven interpretations!

He brings out all the greatest human qualities, he's so deep yet so natural.

[kajohada]

...he is really the greatest and finest beethoven interpreter who ever lived.i heard him with op.106 in concert.he played so magnificent and particularly the famous "adagio sostenuto"was such a great interpretation that i was completely speechless how beautiful it sounded.i dare say that he was the truest and most genuine interpreter of the master´s piano sonatas! :))

i shall never forget him

HAMMERKLAVIER ( Piano with a hammer ! ).One of Felix Mendelssohn piano sonata was modeled after this sonata and thge opus number was even a close match to this op106 of Beethoven !
