Thank you

[@Raffael-Tausend]

Once again, Schiff is here with beautiful tempi and nice touch. I always enjoy his Beethoven :-)

[@ad31677]

I never cease to be amazed at how utterly charming Beethoven's music can be, despite the seriousness of his more well known works, even after decades of listening and enjoying. Thanks András Schiff for your ever masterful renditions. Makes me want to try playing it again.

Charmingly sweet and gentle!!! So Very Good and Beautiful!!! ❤😂🎉

Awesome. One of my favorite sonatas, played with absolute class.

I am in love with Beethoven, especially this sonata. Now I have heard my favorite interpretation! Fantastic! Beautifully filmed and perfect recording!

[@normanhall8435]

Wow, what a venue!! What a blessing to hear a great pianist play Beethoven in this library.

[@michaelbrodsky1221]

A wonderful performance of the one of the most beautiful of the sonatas. Especially heartbreaking is that passionate noble unrestrainable ferocious conclusion which emerges from an ostensible leisureliness, from what appears to b a lazy ambling. Many thanks. Most grateful.

[@fazergazer]

I noticed that Beethoven’s furrowed brow was eased and an enigmatic smile appeared!❤

Beautifull interpretation by an great pianist of a wonderful sonata by a marvelous composer in a very elegant library.i love it ❤❤❤

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

What a perfect room in which to record a piano. And what a perfect pianist to play the New Testament. I hope they took advantage to highlight his repertoire.

[@MichaelTLam]

Underrated sonata in my opinion. Deserves to be as famous as the one right before it. Also want to point out that I like Schiff’s tempo for Mvt II. It is Andante, not Larghississississimo.

[@DirkdeZwijger]

The development section at 5:12 is just incredible and at 5:30 to 5:45 I found it hard to control myself and not explode to the max while playing lol. Truly epic music!!

[@sternowl2345]

oooo so you play this! wow

[@ernestrobinson8441]

That development section reminds me of Star Wars

[@wcucomneuroscience258]

Absolutely amazing, that entire section ending at 6:12. So many "Beethovenian moments". I think his used this as a kind of laboratory, experimentation for his symphonies and perhaps even some of his late sonatas.

[@eytonshalomsandiego]

i always love Schiff's interpretations, even if i like someone else's even more...Schiff has some kind of special touch/ear...i just listened to Lupu's version, and i love them both...

すんばらしい。この曲がこんなにいい曲なんて知りませんでした。

[@TRIHEDRAL]

Schiff's brings out voices I don't hear other pianists highlight, giving new life to this divine music. For example, the very last two chords in the video: most pianists play the highest line as the melody, G F#. While a very unusual and unique way to end a sonata, it still lacks the power of the full authentic cadence we expect. Schiff emphasizes the C# moving up to D, giving us the very ending we want. The G and F# sound almost like overtones. He has separated the strings from flutes just using very precise voice control!!!

[@terencemusicworld2156]

Great observation and elaboration. Totally agree!!

[@cldavis33]

I forget why I clicked on this, something to do the technical playing to bottom lf they keys...saw this, and listened for a couple of minutes. And I teared up hard, not sure why, but this grabbed deep inside me just now. Sitting here crying. I'm embarrassed. I do play piano with a good teacher, and a music major, but this got me. BTW 1:44 minutes in and didn't realized that I was too deep now to stop.

[@katiesethna]

Besides the usual crisp. clean performance by M. Schiff, I am astounded by the excellent sound quality (what are those things beneath the piano? Are those a special speaker system?) and the entire visual presentation. Does anyone know more about this recording? Anyhow...thanks SW.
