I thought that no one else besides Horowitz would ever convince me with this Rach sonata no.2, but Sultanov did it... He gets the mood of the piece, love it despite the fact that Sultanov is banging too much some parts, however this might be due to the way the piece is written, therefore an inevitable banging... Also, big respect for including some parts of the 1st version just like the way Horowitz did it.
Oh, and what a masterful voice leading, only Katsaris, Volodos, Sokolov and Horowitz could emphasize those contrapuntal voicings the way that Sultanov expresses them so masterfully (perhaps young Pogorelich and Gilels too)
Sultanov, like Horowitz, made a personal version of Rachmaninoff's Second Sonata, this is the score of the first (1913) edition, but he is not playing everything from the first edition, many passages are from the second (1931) one or even self composed.
He thought it sounded nice? I didn’t mind it as much as all the p and pp’s especially the middle of the 2nd mvmt and start of the 3rd-movement and in general the whole piece being played louder than how people complain that I play too loudly.
finally someone made a score video of this masterful performance
The “pianissimo” at 12:32 works surprisingly well
I mean he’s gotta play loud at some point, the rest of the sonata is so soft-spoken.
@@manzoh2248 This is probably the loudest recording of one of the loudest sonatas in the romantic repertoire what do you mean

Sorry for my misunderstanding

Kocsis still reigns supreme in my opinion.
This is such a ridiculous and fun recording, i will definitely come back to it later
I. Allegro agitato - 0:00

Lately I've been hearing vibes of Chopin's third sonata in this piece
Holy shit that ending
Fearless
I wonder if Liszt would play this at first sight
It's ok
