Brendel plays Beethoven Piano Sonata No.15, Op.28 (1/2)

[@crann2505ull]

nobody does Beethoven better. Brendel's sensitive and precise pianism, without being prissy, and highly intelligent musicianship do this music superb justice.

[@ClassicalChica]

I love that he takes a slightly slower tempo. It really sets the peaceful, natural mood of the piece.

[@claudewallet3287]

Exactly. I like Pollini’s Beethoven but here, Brendel is the best I think. Peace and clarity.

[@jorgeaguirre7260]

My humble opinion: Best interpretation of this Beethoven sonata

[@olgamariani]

I have listen to different interpretations and this is so beautiful and intens!

[@jakobler3474]

Indeed

[@nothingisreal6816]

It's really really good. What do you think about Ethella Chuprik's version, though?

[@nidhishshivashankar4885]

Agree this is how I imagined it being played when I read it

[@InvaderMixo]

Goddamn, the tempo is a solid frame of gold holding up this masterful interpretation. Extremely beautiful half-step section.

[@Hobott]

What a perfect school - to play beautifully without even one little movement...

[@Hobott]

Fazade Animations You know,i'm kidding, right

[@Hobott]

Fazade Animations Yeah, to me too buddy))

[@trombleyjames3979]

perhaps just the best interpreter of Beethoven

[@phbarnes]

Because of its simplicity and open sonority in the lower register, perhaps the most difficult first movement of the Sonatas to control, tonally. But for Brendel..

[@ferdinandogobbi]

The best for beetho

[@julidelacruz4903]

❤❤❤

[@jurriepurrie]

You should listen to Sokolov's version! It's really beautiful as well. Very precise and subtle.

[@pedromrfs1]

Barenboim's version seems slower and even more peaceful. But this one is nice too.

[@NR-rv8rz]

Sick of loading up sonatas then finding it to be just one movement.
