The Sonata No. 3 (IV. Finale: Presto non tanto - Agitato) is part of the triumphant recital Cyprien Katsaris gave on 17 October 1999 in the fabulous surroundings of the main auditorium of Carnegie Hall in New York on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Chopin’s death. Katsaris presents us with anything but a routine reading of Chopin’s work. His approach is highly personal: unexpected counter-tones in his turn of phrase, tempi that are often unusual, breaks and contrasts informing dynamics, articulation and pedal work. The New York audience was manifestly electrified, giving a standing ovation, repeatedly calling the pianist back for several minutes and finally wresting from him three encores.

In this I heard hidden melodies and ornaments that other pianists didn't bring out! Probably they are not even aware of those! Really great interpretation!

[@alanleoneldavid1787]

Well to be fair he is probably adding some notes

This is from October 17, 1999, when Mr. Katsaris would have been 48. It was a concert in memory of the 150th anniversary of the death of Chopin. In addition to this sonata, Maestro Katsaris also performed several other Chopin works, plus three encores. Mr. Katsaris has his own unique way of interpreting compositions, a refreshing change from many the usual performances one hears nowadays from performers. It definitely impressed the audience at Carnegie, which is arguably the toughest audience in the world to please.

Superb

[@dibaldgyfm9933]

While I am electrified by Katsaris' vigour I send my thoughts to Stephan Askenase, who recorded this for Deutsche Grammophone back in the 50'ies or thereabout, with a tough, cool rhythm as if some force was drawing the main theme towards the final flurrish of fioritura. I remember well that Askenase was in a studio and probably would re-record many times. Askenase, Stephan. Where was he ... he also recorded other of the Chopin besties.

[@derby2510]

His Chopin 3rd is on here now. An unusual mixture of almost plodding through but with some beautiful rubatos.
