- WQXR's Beethoven Piano Sonata Marathon, which took place in The Greene Space on Nov. 20, 2011 featured a lineup which spanned a range of personalities and national schools. It included the flamboyant individualists Evan Shinners and Timothy Andres; the Russian powerhouses Daria Rabotkina and Natasha Paremski; and the Chinese up-and-comers Qi Xu and Yuchong Wu. Some, including Jeremy Denk, Jonathan Biss and Alessio Bax, are already boldface names on the international concert circuit; others are on their way.

Nicely done. This is one of the most lovely of Beethoven's sonatas.
17:51 Finale. Brilliant. Bravo.
Splendid, a real great interpretation. Thank you.

Klare und saubere Aufführung dieser fein komponierten Klaviersonate im angemessenen Tempo mit gut artikuliertem Anschlag und angenehmer Dynamik. Der letzte Satz ist besonders hörenswert!
My favorite LVB sonata
There's something about this sonata. Each movement is singular and modest, yet with such uber-wonderful ideas - they're almost a little too good. And how about 19:37 Beethoven brandishing those 20th century chops!
Oh, and an excellent performance, btw. Really engrossing.
Sublime!!
Very passionate! Bravo!
apparently Beethoven would choose the 2nd movement to ply whenever he was asked to play something of his (provided he was in a good enough mood, I suppose). That movement contains the only music that has made me laugh out loud. it's got a genuinely comical bit in it (from 12:55)
My best.
I do like this performance better than any of the others I've listened to on youtube, and that includes those by such luminaries as Maurizio Pollini. However, I would like it better still if it were taken a smidge slower. My edition of the score (one of the standards, "revised and fingered by Dr. Hans von Bülow and Dr. Sigmund Lebert") suggests the first section be played at 69 bpm. Michael Brown is taking it at about 76 bpm. (He takes the subsequent sections also approximately the same degree faster than recommended.) I concede that playing faster shows off the pianist's virtuosity, and that is one of the points of playing a Beethoven sonata; but it is not the only point. We also want the musical storyline, the progression of harmonies and melodies and rhythms, to make narrative sense. Here he is rushing me through the plot points when I yearn to relax and soak up a little atmosphere.
I like Ethella Chuprik's version better, it's the nicest sounding I heard
Thanks for the recommendation. I enjoyed Ethella Chuprik's playing, but I found another performance more at the tempo that for me brings out the music best: this was by Alfred Brendel, an Austrian pianist. Unfortunately it only seems to be on youtube in a bits-and-pieces version instead of a single video that includes the entire sonata. Nevertheless it's the best I've found yet.
estoote It's really good! Perhaps a bit more dynamic and relaxed than Ethella's version. I wish I could perform such a masterpiece :(
LINDO!
my favorite beethoven sonata by a wide margin. the first movement is one of beethoven's best. i love this performance - sometimes feels hurried, but maybe that's because, as a shit pianist, i have to play it slower
20 minutes, no sheet music
Who s the pianist ?... I like very much his interpretation !! Niki Marmol
It's literally in the title...
Wonderful! Such perfect control and mastery. Will somebody tell me why the audience is so shitty? Coughing, sneezing, and being so disrespectful -- I now understand why Glenn Gould left the stage and moved into the studio.
nice performance, but there s no breathing.
