Beethoven appreciation thread

My favorite dude.

Do you mean the performance or the quality of the audio itself?

The performance you posted is pretty good but the quality of the audio itself isnt as good. I wished they used better microphones,etc

now thats a piece and an interpreter
also another lieder

Is that part of a larger composition?

Nevermind I found it in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_compositions_by_Ludwig_van_Beethoven

Nice, I like the Flea song. I sang it my freshman year. Listening to the 6 Gesänge now...

Opus 131
Beethoven was a madman

Tempo, caracter, score indications, pedal, and we can keep going...
some...
1:52-1:58 (and again in the double bar), 5:32-5:41(there is a repetition of the ending note in the score and he does not play it), 5:47 (pls, not even the notes), 6:50 (notes, really weak excerpt and all the anacruces from the last one), and the same at the recapitulation, 10:11-10:33 (makes me sad, specially 10:25-10:29).
And that was only the 1st mov.

I agree the performance you posted is better, I was just refering to I wish they used better quality of microphones they used to make the recording with.

What do you think about the performance of No14 in OP?

its a single piece in a group of compositions (op 75), like track 3, whatever album.

more specifically what do you think of the third movement?

Beethoven on JS Bach:

"We are all bunglers before him"

No 14?

I like Bach too youtube.com/watch?v=mGQLXRTl3Z0

In the same recording? The Rondo its a large piece, im fowarding it, same errors that cant be overcome, its not the piece or the excerpts, its the performer. Its far away from a good performance, even for a student or amateur. The main thing is that is not stylish, dont know how to translate it... not beethovenian, historicaly played.

Oh sorry I misunderstood I thought you where talking about Piano Sonata No. 21.
What's the best performance of Piano Sonata No. 14 with good audio recording quality?

Thank you all Anons

A lot of rumors around it. It was really new at the piano work sonatas, the first movement its a fantasia and thats unique, its not an introduction its a movement by it self. The 1st mov most of the time is allegro, or allegro with an intro.

Baremboim its known by their Beethoven performances but i dont like it so much cuz he do a lot of change of tempos with out an indication and a lot of rubato and pedal, but that its personal.
I am not a big fan of earing that sonata, i know it very well but i trust in the recordings of Rubinstein, Zimmerman, Arrau, Argerich, Gulda, Kissin, Gulda, Michelangeli, Horowitz.
