Beethoven: Sonata in C Major WoO 51 - Jorg Demus, 1971 - Vanguard VSD 735

Jörg Wolfgang Demus (2 December 1928 - 16 April 2019) was an Austrian classical pianist who appeared internationally and made many recordings. He was also a composer and a lecturer at music academies. In composition and playing, he focused on chamber music and lieder. He played with singers such as Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, as a piano duo with Paul Badura-Skoda, and with string players such as Josef Suk and Antonio Janigro. Demus was instrumental in bringing the historic fortepiano to concert podiums. He was a member of the Legion of Honour, among many awards. He is regarded as one of the leading Austrian pianists of the immediate post-World War II era. #beethoven #piano #classicalmusic #pianosonata #piano #jorgedemus #classicalmusic

I love this little sonata very much,and Demus's sensitive rendition makes it sound like a much more mature,important work!! What a touch,and so many beautiful colors. He can make the piano sing!!

This is the first Beethoven sonata I’ve ever heard but I didn’t know it was Beethoven. Today I saw this video and this brings back memories thank you ❤

Beautiful. The way it ends is so tender and a little bittersweet. I don't think you can write music like that if you've never been in love (in a good way or a painful way).

Sergio and I think alike!! Amen to his concise and all-inclusive comment!! Thanks also to Herr Beethoven and Herr Hertzberg!!

I heard a motif from the pathetique 3rd. Love to hear those references that were there from the beginning

Wunderschöne Interpretation dieser leichten doch fein komponierten Klaviersonate im hoch kultivierten Tempo mit klarem doch elegantem Anschlag und angenehmer Dynamik. Einfach wundervoll!

So COOL😎

No siento que el manejo del Tempo en el primer movimiento sea el más adecuado... Fuera de eso, está muy bien lograda la interpretación de esta pieza!

[@YakupEfe19]

Beginning sounds like Sonata No 32. Arietta jazz section

[@kikicallahan3662]

Someone should write a third movement to finish this sonata.

[@raultorres957]

Beethoven??
