It's marvellous. He plays the first movement with so much gusto. It's exhilarating; it reminds me of being on a carnival ride, a rollercoaster. Just sheer fun and high spirits. This is one of Beethoven's longest and most difficult sonatas. Goode does not disappoint.
There is never the feeling that anything is being rushed. Every note has its own time and place--neither too fast nor too slow. Enough emotion to keep it from being dull but not so much as to make it mushy. I have always loved the Schnabel performances, but this is up there with them. Different, yes, but appropriately so.
Good is always a good resource on scholarly and musical performances of Brahms and Beethoven, certainly. I have yet to survey his entire recording compendium, but I am sure it will be as well done as those I have already surveyed.
Just re-listened to this, as Goode has been, for some years, my favorite Beethoven artist, and I had just also heard the recently posted Sokolov performance with the usual rave reviews and the comment that, perhaps, his was the way Beethoven himself might have done it. Perhaps so, but I prefer this refined and polished version by Goode, who (as Paul Van Bladel said 7 years ago) PLAYS it thinking first of Beethoven, not himself. Regards
Impeccable. It would seem that every note is contemplated and executed with the deepest thought as he plays. He's been my favorite since I first saw him at L.A. Dorothy Chandler Pavilion
it's very hard to point out who is absolutely the most perfect pianists of Beethoven's music.... because personally, each listener has his/her own feeling about tempo, emotion, color, way of expression.... but undoubtfully, Goode is the Beethoven-music master of our epoch, at least his technique is better than Artur Schnabel's in the past
Yes, I think you have it linked to something in the past. It is not the explicit memory but some mood associated with an experience. This is an unfortunate coupling, like the smell of fresh flowers always reminds me of a funeral. In your case, it may not be conscious.
hmmm...given that logic, why do Hamlet after Olivier, or do Stanley Kowalski after Brando...Richard Goode recorded this, not as competition for Schnabel, but as participation in this conversation.
Hate ?? Where is hate ? I'am just pissed off with these pseudo-artists doing something completely irrelevant and boring after the passage of guys like Schnabel , Horowitz , Friedman , Backhaus , Gieseking , etc .... (with the exception of the asian girls , (Lim , Wang) who have really something to bring . But the "old masters" out of Europe , coming today naively after ten other pianists far much better than they are , and as they would try to make us believe that they didn't know this reality , this is disgusting and obscene . Better watch a good old porn than this crap .

Meastro Goode puts Beethoven on the first plan and not himself. Brilliant performance, beautiful sound.
It's marvellous. He plays the first movement with so much gusto. It's exhilarating; it reminds me of being on a carnival ride, a rollercoaster. Just sheer fun and high spirits.
This is one of Beethoven's longest and most difficult sonatas. Goode does not disappoint.
Thanks for posting. The Coursera course on exploring the B. Sonatas.....highly recommended, as is Goode.
Me too haha
Me three!! I just finished that wonderful course for the 2nd time. They've added a few new lectures and material.
Beyond comprehension in it's perfection and integrity to the score!!!!

It is a beautiful rhythmic sound.
Interpretazione eterna oltre i tempi e le mode

A brilliant musical interpretation and the immense technical challenges of this piece don't seem to exist for Maestro Goode.
Wow...Perfect..!!
another top performer. I love Richard Goode. Thanks for sharing this. dave B
Beautiful. Especially the distant passing truck at 8:48

BEETHOVEN ! 23:42
Quelle délicatesse amoureuse dans les dernières mesures !!
19:18 BEETHOVEN !
I am literally getting boner from it lol
good!
Did I just hear him make a mistake at 5:28??????????
NO! I learned this work years ago, and he did not make an error at that time.
2악장에서 장엄함이 느껴집니다.^^
Does anyone else feel like his tempo is everywhere?
Compared to Barenboim, no! :)
Everywhere? Like where?? Like Travis Scott? I don't think he uses this tempo. I don't think Khalid uses this tempo either.
Beethoven with the adrenaline and excitement removed.
Nope. Does not compute.
Well he can certainly play this better than I can. :/
😊🍎💮✨🌻

is it with me only? when i hear classical music, I get depressed and start thinking about past.
yeah its just you.
It makes me happy but I understand

Thank you Mr. Aggarwal . This is a very deep comment .
Oh My God! How unfortunate!
Beautifully played, sans doubt, but Goode is a charisma bypass, I once went to a recital of his, never again. A concert is also meant to be an event .
Why recording this Sonata after Schnabel ? Make something else of your life , dear Mr. Goode .
hmmm...given that logic, why do Hamlet after Olivier, or do Stanley Kowalski after Brando...Richard Goode recorded this, not as competition for Schnabel, but as participation in this conversation.
I don't need such "participations" . And what Schnabel was doing was not a conversation , but an absolute .
why this hate?

Dear Mr Goode has made much more of his life them some self proclaimed critics ever will.
