    A meeting of giants. A lonely prince of a realm of spirits, isolated by deafness and a pianistic genius. A privilege to hear

    The sonata to end all sonatas. The sublime end of a life long journey by Beethoven. The Master played by a Master of the piano

      I think, although this is one of the greatest masterpieces of all time, Liszt’s sonata takes dibs on the sonata genre 🙄 ✌️

    The best interpretation and execution ever of this piece. His dynamic range is remarkable. I wish I could have been in this audience.
    Beethoven's epic sonata points to the early rhythms of jazz. One of my top 10 of all piano works.

    I love the late Beethoven piano sonatas, they take us on a spiritual journey and you listen and seem to reach a higher state of consciousness. Was just listening to Benedetti Michelangeli's 1964 version of the same sonata, and this performance from Vladimir Ashkenazy is great too. He's a pianist that I did hear live on several occasions in the late 1980s to 1990 period. One of those pianists that never disappoints. Beethoven's achievements are remarkable when you think what struggles he had in life: a neglected abused child, mood swings, functionally deaf around the age of just 30, giving up on love in order to pursue his music, piano prodigy himself, and he left his brain to science. Here we are in 2023 and scientists in Vienna are going to examine the skull fragments left behind. They've already been looking at his DNA too.

  • @porcinet1968

    judging by the performances it receives the Arietta must simply be one of the most difficult pieces in the entire repertoire to play: very few pianists get the galloping quality of the central fast section even remotely correct (it's two and a half pages of that 3=2+1 rhythm in every part of the texture and Ashkenazy, despite his skill, still flattens it out into almost regularity which to my ear spoils what Beethoven is doing here: it's the same proportions as the rhythmic grid that operates previously in the movement, just subdivided further and further until it's effectively triplets of triplets of triplets). only Pollini and Levit fully clarify this.

    Esta sonata es un viaje hacia el Alma de Beethoven. Es volver a vivir desde su interior ese transcurso de su difícil existencia. Es sentir esa entrega hacia el mundo desde lo más recóndito de su ser. Qué inconmensurable legado nos ha dejado, no sólo por esta tremenda Sonata, sino por toda su obra.

      @asabeaumont7213 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Having listened to both renditions I don't think that you can say one is correct all others are wrong. Richter lacks empathy somehow, whereas Ashkenazy makes it wracked with emotion. Richter may be metronomically accurate and precise, but the feeling you get when Ashkenazy plays it is more soulful. Both are excellent.
