Beethoven - Piano sonata n°32 op.111 - Annie Fischer

[@trajnamusiccpt]

I have just listened to two idols of mine, Andras Schiff and Barenboim playing Beethoven op. 111. But Annie Fischer's 37 years old recording transcends the enormous achievements of those two mighty men by being the most direct, most uncluttered by ego and the nearest to the heart of Beethoven's world of unearthly light and shade. She is also the most robust of the three when it is fitting to be so.

+trajnamusiccpt I also consider Barenboim and Schiff as referents! so may i ask you what do you think of Arrau's interpretation?? Still my favorite by far!! give it a try!!! you can easily find it in youtube, b&w video, his interpretation of the arieta left me speechless, hope u like it!

+trajnamusiccpt I know Glenn Gould isn't known for his Beethoven but his op. 111 is one my favorite after listening to 5 others

[@raymondtogtman1047]

To me Artur Schnabel is the best, hands down, on the second half of movement two, which I think is Beethoven's most spiritual music.

[@khothye]

Totally agree! But I adore too Arrau's version

[@khothye]

@@fedevento I also think Arrau's version is the best one, the only that makes me cry

Amazing collection, great performances!

[@maximilianbroger8145]

Very powerfull performance

[@AdamCzarnowski]

The only pianist who really understood this sonata and fully communicated its sublime essence.

[@raymondtogtman1047]

You think Artur Schnabel didn't understand this sonata?

[@notaire2]

Kräftige und spannende Interpretation dieses perfekt konstruierten Meisterwerks im inspirierenden Tempo mit perfekt artikuliertem Anschlag und völlig effektiver Dynamik. Echt atemberaubend!

I love the wat she plays.It´s like hearing this music for the first time.

Great upload of this rare treasure. Thanks a ton!

[@antimeran]

Fischer plays the concluding section beginning at 22:00 with unmatched intensity and resolve.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Une quasi-perfection de bout en bout; Tout y est; à peine je regrette un tempo un peu lent dans la 3° variation, que j'imagine plus percutante; mais quelle musicalité ! Après, elle atteint à l'idéal grâce à son choix de tempo des 4° et 5° V où elle exprime tant de profondeur dans une 5° V si souvent exécutée à des tempi incompréhensibles; Transition excellente et raccord avec la 6° V avec le crescendo de 21'55 que LvB n'a pas marqué mais qui semble tellement indispensable. Grandiose 6°, 7° magique; Tout y est !

[@dyptik]

de quand est cet enregistrement svp ? merci !

[@olivierdrouin2701]

Merci de faire remarquer la modération chantante qu elle applique a la section entre la variation jazzy et la modulation en mi bémol (ou le côté solennel dialogue avec l ange ne me semble pas assez présent) Vous avez raison,elle est trop rare.

[@albertsystem1]

Love her Beethoven sonatas! Don't know how else to describe this: her piano sound on these recordings has a bit of a saloon upright vibe.

Thank 🎹🎶🌹

my spiritus happy

[@fuga9]

i was shocked to hear Youra Guller's performance and now shocked again ,listening to fisher's perform.of the op 111

[@michaelgordon7774]

Fischer plays the part beginning at 21:55 with more intensity than in any other recording that I know.

[@Rx-mn5fv]

Agree completely with Trajnamusiccpt's strong comment.

Amazing 🙏🙏🙏

Eine sehr interessante Interpretation, die ich bestimmt noch mehrere male hören werde. Neben vielen unvergesslichen Interpreten, möchte ich aus dem KZbin-Angebot vor allem Ernst Levy empfehlen. Bei ihm habe ich tatsächlich das Gefühl: "Ja, so muss es klingen". Fürwahr, eine Interpretation für die Ewigkeit (so auch alle anderen Sonaten, die der Schweizer in Boston aufgenommen hat). Ruben

Personal top 3 of the Beethoven Sonatas set. 1) Schiff 2) Ohlsson 3) Fischer. Though the last two changes depending of my mood.

[@yttrium55]

comparable to Richter in every respect, only a little bit muscular rendition

[@raymondtogtman1047]

In my opinion Annie Fischer playing of Beethoven's piano sonatas is second only to Artur Schnabel

[@TJFNYC212]

better then Schnable if you ask me

[@raymondtogtman1047]

@@TJFNYC212 Are talking about the 1932 or the 1942 recording?

Hysterical monumentalism.

[@schnipsikabel]

maybe Beethoven isn't your type :)

[@rummi72]

@@schnipsikabel Maybe you didn't understand my compliment to Fisher's performing talent. Perhaps you did not understand the essence of Beethoven's work in principle.

[@rummi72]

​@@waggawaggaful Right you are. I think Fischer was a brilliant interpreter of Beethoven's works along with Rudolf Serkin and Elly Ney.

[@schnipsikabel]

@@rummi72No, indeed i didn't understand your compliment... and yes, probably i don't understand the essence of Bs work ;)

[@GDT908]

Oui, c'est très bien joué. Mais je trouve cela un peu trop "chevaleresque", si on me pardonne l'expression. Trop d'ampleur, trop de démonstration. J'aime Annie Fischer dans Schumann, dans Schubert. Pour Beethoven, je reste fidèle à Solomon.

[@fa-la-mi-mi-re]

Exact-je pense la même chose.Seul Richter maitrise cette sonate de bout en bout sans emphase

[@lgreenberg20]

No. Barenboim's had a much better end. Beethoven's last sonata was not played to the beat of a pretty ballerina as she plays.

[@khothye]

What a stupid comment
