Barenboim plays Beethoven like it should be played. Every note is crystal clear and has it's own dynamic. He has spent years perfecting his touch. He might not be the fastest player, but every note is heard and played perfectly that is the most important thing

@@leticiaburton228 I started piano two years ago, and I spent a year of that time learning the whole of moonlight sonata. I'm happy with it because it developed my skills for other songs like waldstein sonata which I can happily say is 'easy' for me because I'd already conquered a much harder challenge. So your measurement is incorrect and if you have the time and patience you can play anything no matter your skill

I can't be certain, but it looks like he's in the Schauspielhaus, the old opera house that is located just off Unter den Linden, on the Gendarmenmarkt. The light fixtures are identical to those found there. The view of the room looks a bit like it...a rather small orchestra seating area and full boxes. Without more light it's really hard to tell though. I really can't be certain though.

You have every right to believe that Barenboim's interpretation is more appropriate, just make sure

simply Barenboim "Comprehends". note and nuance Beethoven intended. beeth typically rendered hurriedly "look how fast and dynamic I play", or "how seriously", look, a look. Barenboim in class discussions sees phrase important as note. my fav #21, transitional seeming 'ad libs'(first heard Horowitz) create balance foretell hints direction of movement. very important. until I heard Barenboim, I always yearned for someone to painstakingly enough express Beethoven distinctly,as the Maestro felt it.

The Schauspielhaus is called now Konzerthaus, and it's not this for sure. Maybe it's the Staatsoper - which is Unter den Linden (Gendarmenmarkt/Konzerthaus is other place, but quite near). The more I think about, the more I'm sure it's Staatsoper, because D.B. is chiefconductor of Staatsoper. So he's able to "use" it for solo concerts...

Not until Liszt and Mendelsohn insisted, did performers play only what was on the page (actually written by the composer), Performers in Beethoven's era took great latitude with their performances of works, especially solo works. So the Barenboim performance is certainly within the realm of possibilities, though I suspect there were many more "liberties" taken by Beethoven's contemporaries.

@lksong2041 difference between you and me is that my opinion is objective, and is based on the performance above. Youre opinion is based on the subjective view of "many" idiots who think that barenboim is "best musician of our age". And I am truly, enormously happy that there are many, many people better than me, from whome i can learn. Barenboim is not one of them.

Art is a subjective medium. You can cry "Barenboim is better" to the mountain tops, and still your comment will only bear subjective meaning. You should not demean the opinions of others, nor should you disparage the remarkable skill of a virtuoso pianist. I can respect that you think Barenboim is better (I have no opinion on who is better), but I'm just imploring you to treat your opinion AS AN OPINION and not dismiss the preferences of others.

Without getting into the whole "who can play better than whom" debate, I think that the thing Barenboim carries to Beethoven is an air of authority and deep knowledge. This is hard for the youngsters out of some music academy, or the Asian technical freaks, to emulate. It takes some years under your belt, so to speak. I'll wager that Barenboim approaches these pieces much differently now than as a teenage whiz-kid in the 1950s.
