I have never heard a better performance of the third movement of Moonlight.

[@Mika-pv4bw]

Best version I’ve ever heard ever by any pianist ever.

[@sheytanovamalena]

Agree

[@pukupukuss3864]

グルダのコンサート行ってみたかった。子供の頃、家にあったレコードで聴いて、虜になった。 レコードが磨り減るほど繰り返し聴いた。大人になってグルダのベートーベンソナタ全集を買った。 私の宝物＾＾

[@TheHanslick]

Bravo, bravissimo !!!!!!! Ah, Gulda ...

[@fabiodemarchi570]

Quanto ha amato Beethoven Gulda. Interpretazione struggente.

[@francoriva55]

Vero ! Immenso pianista.. a volte snobbato da critici saccenti.... grandissimo al pari degli altri sommi. Ghilels richter arrau horowitz ashkenazi pollini michelangeli serkin brendel ecc ecc

[@AntonellaUrsoSoprano]

Mi dispiace solo averlo conosciuto da poco....all epoca delle sue esibizioni ero solo una ragazzina che studiava al conservatorio...non c era internet.. Adesso che lo ascolto mi commuovo,tutta la sua sensibilità e dolcezza è qui!sembra di toccare il cielo.🙏🎵

[@karlbauer9734]

Eine rundum stimmige Interpretation, großartig. Es ist immer schwierig zu sagen: „Dies ist die beste Interpretation“, aber für mich ist Gulda ein herausragender Interpret der Beethovschen Klaviersonaten.

[@BeniaminQB]

They are both absolute legends, Beethoven and Gulda!

[@mariettetolub9517]

Gulda..the best

[@マークシスレー]

No one can understand and feel the great romandic composers like Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin better and deeper than grand maestro Friedrich Gulda because master Goulda doesn't give all his energy to strictly to music stracture but what is hidden deep inside the very score of each music work and that can't be else than the heart and soul of the music it self the soul of the composer speaking through the notes to everybody Goulda feels better what we can very difficult expess with words and that is the "love" of the composer - "can you feel Beethovens love, can you"??That's the real thing!!As we listen to that masterpiece of the archgeneral of the composers let's remember a famous quotte of his saying: "To play a wrong note is insignificant but to play without passion is inexcusable"!!Ply the music with passion and all thev rest will natural come without any force, restrain your self and play as if your a robot without the slightest variation without each individualand "touch" nd your playing is as cold and souless as ice!!!

[@sheytanovamalena]

12:17 - 12:20 that one single tiny detail! One of the so many that make this performance of his a true and utter all-time masterpiece!

[@klautstreif9973]

Yes, this is the best version on youtube 👍

[@manfredschulz5642]

Ich frage mich,wie es dazu kommt,daß andere hochgepriesene Pianisten diese Perle der Musik so vergewaltigen!Man beachte nur diese kleinen Verzögerungen und "Päuschen" an genau!- der richtigen Stelle.Herr Gulda hat`s begriffen und präsentiert`s. - Genial!

[@elenarose4864]

precisely!

[@АннаГафарова-ь6д]

Ja , bestimmt.

[@jeanlucchapelon]

It’s exactly my vision of this piece ! The 1st mvt slow The 2nd medium The 3rd fast 🙏

[@321Lopper]

Ich hab mir die Beethoven Sonaten als Teenager mit Gulda erschlossen, weil das die Version war, die wir zu Hause hatten. Finde ich aber immer noch super, weil Rhythmus bei Beethoven wichtig ist und gulda “grooved” besser als viele andere. Außerdem blitzsauber.

[@kradomirchoukroutov6362]

He really plays and lets hear all the harmonic and rythmic subtleties of Beethoven, especially in the 3rd movement where almost all other pianists just hammer it...Great performance!!!

[@tatianachinenova8124]

Best....

[@jonnsmusich]

He was the best - Bach AND Beethoven....Thanks for the posting.

[@maraboo72]

Ich habe alle Beethoven Sonaten von Gulda. Er ist da für mich das Maß der Dinge. Egal, ob so gefühlvoll wie hier oder so explosiv wie bei der Waldstein-Sonate oder bei allem dazwischen: Ich habe es noch nicht besser gehört.

[@levolvik5231]

meiner Meinung nach ist bei beethoven sonaten barenboim das maß aller Dinge

[@nisanus]

+LeVolVik Arrau, Pires, Richter, Perahia, Giles, Kempf, Gulda (!)......... aber der Dani würde mir da nicht im Traume in den Sinn kommen! Der hat wohl andere Stärken!

[@levolvik5231]

Welche denn deiner Meinung nach? ich finde dass er sonaten wie pathetique oder pastoral ebenso gefühlvoll wie virtuos spielen kann, seine interpretationen von 2006 in berlin sind großartig!

[@EcstasyJesus]

+LeVolVik Ich denke, Barenboim sollte vom Pianistendasein die Finger lassen. Er dirigiert besser als er spielt, gerade bei Beethoven. Gerade bei dieser Sonate stört mich bei Barenboim, das er so viele Tempoveränderungen einbringt, das es weh tut sich die Sonate anhören.

[@nnnmmm1910]

Friedrich Gulda ist der beste Interpret von Beethovens Klaviermusik.

[@marcela77777]

Luxurious caress of the soul, dear Maestro! 🌹 Beautiful recitation with a gentle recitation of the main melody of the right hand and a slower pace is a real balm! 🌹 12.37 Elegant done My admiration, Maestro! 🌹 And why do I always play in Forte.... Cordially, Marcela

[@AndreaBetti123]

Siamo,secondo, me davanti alla più grande interpretazione di questo pezzo in era moderna.

[@71demy]

+LordDarkPiano2000 Perfettamente d'accordo!

[@fabriziopelli4577]

Ti consiglio di ascoltare anche l'interpretazione di Kempff....semplicemente strepitosa!

[@fabiodemarchi570]

nel 1 movimento. Delicatezza nel 2 straordinario il 3.

[@norahdealmeida5847]

Perfect tempo. This adagio is so deep and sad, if played faster than that, it becomes superficial.

[@tauno4280]

I totally agree. I like to think that Beethoven preferred a slower interpretation. It makes me think of his 5th symphony. Some conductors take it so fast. It just doesn't suit the work IMHO.

[@geuros]

@@tauno4280 if Beethoven wouldn't want it to be slow, he wouldn't make it "Adagio Sostenuto" :) so you're right, it's not even speculation, it should be really slow. And it's really hard to keep the tension in slower tempo, which I guess is why many pianists just avoid it completely and go for higher tempo

[@JanUllrichVetter]

@@geuros you forget the "alla breve" marking

[@klop4228]

Hell, I could take it even slower!

[@winter2400]

@@tauno4280 Unfortunately the metronome marks Beethoven left us for his symphonies and the metronome marks a lot of his students like Carl Czerny left us for his piano works like Sonatas show us that Beethoven apperently enjoyed fast Tempi a lot.

[@jongkind2000]

A melhor performance que já ouvi dessa sonata. Belissimo o primeiro movimento . No tempo certo.

[@bienemaja2054]

Einfach GENIAL!!!!!!

[@themasterkey1705]

La mejor interpretación que he escuchado... sincera, expresiva...

[@Pupy06]

The best!

[@rafam1355]

Genialne wykonanie. Nie słyszałem do tej pory ciekawszej interpretacji. Ani za szybko ani za wolno. Słucham tego w całkowitej ciszy otoczenia i ciemności. Tylko ja, F. Gulda i Beethoven. Mam to wykonanie również na płycie analogowej i przyznam, że brakuje mi tego charakterystycznego trzeszczenia, które towarzyszyło mi przez cały okres kiedy mogłem słuchac tej Muzyki wyłacznie na adapterze rodziców gdyz w tamtym okresie nie było jeszcze płyt CD a tym bardziej komputerów i internetu. Pozdrawiam

[@OmgLoLw2gLuvUidkROFL]

LOVE it! The 1st mvt has PERFECT tempo. Most play this waaay too fast. This piece is supposed to sound melancholy, mysterious, haunting... You've got it!! lol I also like in the 1st mvt how you keep the left hand silent so as not to drown out the melody. Most don't do that either. You've got it!! Perfectly!! The finale is absolutely splendid. The 2nd mvt should sound quite the opposite of this: Bouncy and fun! LOL A tad slow, but love how smooth and free-flowing it is. Great use of the pedal. I wish mine sounded like this. 3rd mvt: I know will be fast and POWERFUL! Yup! This is an old recording. Had this been recorded today, it would BLOW US ALL AWAY!!! LOL Love how you're playing it though!! PHENOMENAL!! THANKS for posting!

[@daviddevalera6382]

_The 1st mvt has PERFECT tempo._ Yes! Slow, brooding, painful. MAJESTIC. I've just discovered Gulda and he IS blowing me away.

[@danasumova6581]

I´agree Fridrich Gulda was really best specialist in Beethoven´s sonates but I recommand to compare second version with older interpreter Walter Gieseking: Walter Gieseking plays Beethoven "Moonlight" Sonata (rec. 1951) especially last second part was brillant playing by this Master. Unfortunatelly recording there are worst - from 50. But both Masters compareing is very very interesting. Thank you for recording and very nice performences of both ones.

[@francescaemc2]

Solo lui si può permettere un tempo lento mantenendo sonorità eccellenti

[@derstengele7155]

Das ist ein bemerkenswertesTempo. Es zwingt mich hinein. Dennoch ist Tempo auch immer eine Sache des Augenblicks und Kontextes. Vor Live Publikum spielte auch Gulda manchmal ein bisschen schneller, weils richtig war. Das war seine Begabung neben vielen anderen Talenten, den Moment und das Publikum und die Musik zu spüren.
