OMG I always thought that Argerich owned this repertoire: the Rach III the Chopin B minor and here is Kapell. Astounding! Dazzling! What a tragic loss of the musical world!

@paulostroff99 AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!!!!!
-
@MrTootler ...when it comes to them...I unfortunately fall for their b.s. all the time...I really don't know what I am talking about...and they exploit that...

@fredericfranc Are they pretty good? My ex easily cooked the best pot of chili.
-
@MrTootler ...you want to be more cautious about this "easily the best" shit...you never heard my mother-in-law...or, for that matter, my current girlfriend...
-
@fredericfranc Cyprien Katsaris....easily the best interpretation of Chopin's G minor ballade.
-
@MrTootler ...another pianist who maybe sneaks a little of the "inner voices" work into the movement is Cyprien Katsaris...don't let his eyes scare you...
-
@fredericfranc huh. I had no idea. Ill check those out!
-
@MrTootler ...very rare to have someone dare "attack" directly the "great composer" on the YT, actually this movm't gets knocked frequently in the "professional circles"...for being just a little bit dumb...Kapell does save it in a slightly mystifying way by resorting to "inner voices" which makes it sound less "trivial"...other renditions of the movm't perhaps deservng checking out: Lipatti, Pogorelich, Bozhanov, Sultanov....

I dont know, the melody of the fourth movement of this work always sounded stupid to me. Its like Chopin's 3rd seemed like a great film with a bad ending (the third movement is so gorgeous). But Kapell saved this sonata for me- the fourth movement sounds fresh to me now.
Thanks for posting!
The best!
