I agree that this is an underrated recording of the piece, it falls second best for me, only behind the popular Ritcher recording! Thank you for sharing
There are times where the harmony choices remind me of the Debussy's Sarabande and rhythm sounds like a precursor to Reich's electric counterpoint. Astonishing.
Reading the comments, I think that picking apart the choices of the performer performing the music reduces the pleasure one could receive if you just listen without judgement first. Make the necessary corrections of interpretation in YOUR own recording.
It is a really clear recording but it makes the weird timing inconsistencies more noticeable, like at 08:28 where he plays the e# of the quintuplet and the octave c# at the same time which you would do with the rhythm at 3:49
For the very lively parts of this piece I think the use of rubato should be somewhat limited, but for the slow longing sections, I think it is needed in order to even play the piece, and even more so to create a great interpretation
Zhukov brings out a clarity in this sonata like no other! I love Ashkenazy's and Lettberg's performance, but no other pianist does it better than Zhukov in my opinion.
When you’ve only listened to Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven and think you are suddenly an expert in musical form: “ah yes, this is is clearly nonsense! Not in traditional sonata form? Atrocious! 🤓”
If you mean nonsense as in fantastical or beyond ordinaryness I can agree to that. I personally think the piece has a very vague sense. It is as if the form and harmonies are behind a thick fog. Although certainly there, they are difficult to decifer
love how the performer completely ignores the rhythmic intricacies of the piece, especially during the slow sections. Jazz musicians are right, classical musicians really ain't got rhythm. What a shame.
Although some rhythms are neglected, I'd say most of his rhythmic choises are perfect. As for classical musicians not having any rhythm, although being true in some sense, it's more of a difference in genre. In jazz, a steady rhythm is very important. In classical, rhythm is much more fluid. Rubato is not as common in jazz

its ahead of its time for sure a utterly unique and idiosyncratic work
Thank you for sharing this! What a crazy ride...
You’re sincerely welcome!

Couldn’t agree more

He actually doesn't, the E# is played a bit earlier
I don’t agree with many performers use of rubato for this sonata.

Wait, Zhukov the general??
Sadly no. It is only the great pianist and audio technician Igor Zhukov. Although hearing the other Zhukov play would have been... Interesting
Zhukov brings out a clarity in this sonata like no other! I love Ashkenazy's and Lettberg's performance, but no other pianist does it better than Zhukov in my opinion.
Very good piece of nonsense.

Ah yes, the uninitiated.

Well, do you also look at an Einstein equation and say this is nonsense, because you don't understand it?

Why do you love this?
all this because because one performer “ignores the rhythmic intricacies of the piece”?
isn’t that generalization?
