An outstanding rendition, no doubt! I must say, though, it always surprises me how Sergio Fiorentino, a titan in his own right, so often gets overlooked in these discussions
I like the patience in the playing of the great Sonata! It is interesting how notes are accented for the last movement - I hear things that I previously don't!
Not within multiple orders of magnitude when compared to Rachmaninoff in this masterpiece, in my opinion. I have been generally very unimpressed by Godowsky's recordings, especially given his reputation. He was known to have an aversion for recording and asked that he not be judged by them. I think he was right about that.
@@chester6343 doesn't mean he played well while recording, which i find not as well as the likes of others. it's most likely due to his high level of stage fright, as he always experienced while playing in public and recording. hofmann allegedly told chasins to "never forget" what sound godowsky made while playing for them but that's because he was playing for friends
![Chopin - Sonata No. 2 in B-Flat Minor, Op. 35 (Cho) [Score]](/img/1.gif)
One of the best Chopin Sonata 2s along with Rachmaninoff, Cortot, and Hofmann roll... the fourth movement is perfection.

Hofmann scores you got the Truth

Godowsky stares my soul with that sonata
love the thumbnail
Really impressive, the finale is incredible.
The left hand work is crazy
A Colossus.......BRAVO from Acapulco!
Based ❤
Il terzo movimento come lo esegue Michelangeli nessuno secondo me
performance has got a lot more conservative since chopin
Honestly why I avoid playing Chopin. Everyone’s so judge about your tempi and rubato. Play a more obscure work no one knows and they don’t complain.
@@Redriverhog32 lol that's true tho
@@Redriverhog32 -- I don't understand? Why would you care so much about what Other People think? You cannot be THAT insecure. BRAVO from Acapulco!
@@Redriverhog32 or just play whatever you want, who cares about what others think? (unless your playing is actually horrible)
Horovitz the Best here! The duo variant of recording. Its too cute,but no deep
Yo wait I didn’t know u made bideos

Rachmaninoff himself held Godowsky in very high regard

Clunky and rhythmically insecure. Next.
