[@giuliofrigerio7642]

best version ever, personal yet coherent and felt, hard to find such an in dept sight of Schumann aesthetic

I don’t normally like Gilels’ performances of this sonata (often rushed, sloppy albeit spontaneous - see Leningrad), but this early one is exquisite - probably my favourite rendition of the Op. 11.

Thanks for sharing! It must s*ck to be ousted all the time but at least now we're allowed longer-lasting uploads....I (for one) like not having to navigate between the different movements of the sonata.
