Grigory Sokolov live in Leipzig 2012: Beethoven - Sonata Op. 106 Hammerklavier - 1st mvt.

[@GBADCD]

It is the best interpretation of the Hammerklavier ever. The 3rd andamente is sublime.

Thanks for sharing, I was unable to hear this interpretation due to maestro Sokolov´s illness last year. It was so interesting to compare this with his earlier recording from Munich-75. Still I can´t help feeling that his later approach lacks some of the edge and precision of the Munich recording (uploaded by elwisw) which is the finest version of this sonata I have ever heard.
