If there is one pianist for whom I have an abiding love and respect, and whose art never fails to educate and enlighten me, then that pianist is Solomon. This is a dazzling performance as to its clarity and precision, and as to its overall conception of the monumental Opus 111. Bravo.
Solomon plays the sonata with the most inner tensions and connections and equally his interpretation is terminated from the hard beginning till to its quiet end.
Just heard it and felt very sorry to realize that playing of this kind ist just not around any longer! I supose it's just one more sign of the world we live in: these blessed souls, capable of giving us a glimpse of the deepest universe in their fantastic music making, be it composing or performing, are not coming to this planet any longer! Where could one listen to something even near to this rendition these days? Just not possible!
I love this recording, which I put alongside my other favorites, each for a different reason: those of Gilels, Eisenzopf, Novaes, Pollini, and Backhaus. Hoomeyow!!
@@wolfgangklofat594 I seem to remember Gilels being quite Beethoveny with his Beethoven. Are you declaring he never recorded it? I say.... AAAAAAYYYYEEEE???
@@barney6888, I do definitely know that there does not exist any a performance of Beethovens´s opus 111 by Emil Gilels. All fans of piano music really miss it that the planned recording with DG was prohibited by the sudden death of the pianist.
Majestätische Interpretation dieses unvollendeten Meisterwerks im relativ langsamen Tempo mit kräftigem Anschlag und dramatischer Dynamik. Einfach atemberaubend!

I was so sad, when I heard, he had died - well no one lives forever, but I am glad, that his good recordings are still here.🌹

I would be interested, where and when did You ever hear Gilels playing this sonata? May be in Your phantasy...

And we would do well to remember Schnabel and the extraordinary Annie Fischer.
@@charlescovell8054 And what about Richter???
1. Maestoso - Allegro con brio ed appassionato: 0:01
2. Arietta: 8:42
🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷🙂😇🙏고맙습니다()
Good Remaster!
Majestätische Interpretation dieses unvollendeten Meisterwerks im relativ langsamen Tempo mit kräftigem Anschlag und dramatischer Dynamik. Einfach atemberaubend!
Warum unvollendet?
Beethoven initially had plans for a sonata in three movements, but it was not completed.
@@starless5668 Meine originale Meinung.
@@starless5668 Nur meine persönliche Meinung. Nichts darüber.
@@starless5668 Mein Kommentar auf RUclips ist nie meine öffentliche Urkunde. Kein Beweis ist notwendig.
Either it's 1948 or 1956. There are 2 recordings.
ich spüre hier Gleichnis mit Sv. Richter. Agree
Agree ?
I’m sorry. Much as I love Richter, the Arietta is marked Adagio Molto and his is certainly not Molto. Solomon on the other hand……
Maybe Richter considered Adagio "molto semplice" e cantabile, and not " 'Adagio molto', semplice e cantabile"
Only S.RIchter uses correct tempo for this sonata.
Indeed, Richter reaches Beethoven in his interpretation of this sonata !
In which recording...? He did several at different stages of his career
@@michelangelomulieri5134 The recordings of the seventies were very thrilling.Lyon,Marseille,Pécs,Milan etc not on YT
@@fa-la-mi-mi-re In my personal taste, I find very thrilling in this sonata Michelangeli, Ney and Yudina. Of course Richter is great too!
