I own Brautigam's Beethoven sonata set on SACD and think quite highly of it. What's more, I consider his Les Adieux one of the set's highlights. This live performance, for me, is even better, more emotive and dynamic. I still slightly prefer the final movement as played by Pollini in a videoed live recital also available here at KZbin. But this might well become my go-to rendition of the work.

Meneer Brautigam is such a master of the pianoforte! Some of the best renditions of Beethoven's extensive piano catalogue are by him. I love his honest approach to Beethoven's piano music, not over-romanticizing the pieces, like many pianists do, but rather letting them speak on themselves.

@@CziffraTheThird No update yet, but recently, I found further interesting orchestrations in an archive in Eastern Germany which I really would like to edit as well - the "Pathetique" c minor op. 13 orchestrated by a certain Ludwig Alexander Balthasar Schindelmeisser (1811 - 1864) and the string quartet f minor op. 95, set for orchestra by Alexander Friedr. Landgraf von Hessen (1863 - 1945). I am so curious...! You may know probably the congenious Felix Weingartner "Hammerklavier Symphony" (orchestration of op. 106)? I found an orchestral version of the c# minor string quartet op. 131 from around 1900, but since I don't have orchestral parts, only full score, it will be a huge amount of work to prepare the material... By the way, it's not necessarily as the composer would have done it... I haven't checked the Bierey to deeply yet, but you remember the place in the last mvt. with the in chords rising and descending octaves where 4 bars are in pedal? Bierey decided (or forgot?) not to orchestrate the pedal although it's unmistakable requested by Beethoven, so that the place in his orchestration will sound massive but dry. Ah, here in Graz I found 3 Bagatelles by Beethoven orchestrated by Erich Wolf Degner. This is already prepared by me.

And you may find consolation if not satisfaction in the fact that a couple of years ago in fact an orchestration of op.8 had been released on CD which - at least judging by the listening examples on the internet - indeed is not very good nor brahmsian. On the other hand, concerning my "Les Adieux"-orchestration it is not proved yet that it is better - I just said, I FOUND it... (In fact, I believe that it is indeed quite interesting and experienced, despite one irritating fact: Bierey prefferred to set the place in the 1st mvt. with the unisono octaves, which re-occurs in the reprise, with regarding the pedal! It would have made no problems to hold the 4 horns, maybe plus the trombones, through while the others play the short octaves. It will sound shocking dry...

It sounded late to me, too (I've come to expect the punchier sound of the earlier fortepianos in period performances of Beethoven), but Sebastien Erard died in 1831. Sonata no. 26 was written 1809-1810, so the piece and the instrument are basically contemporary. I think the instrument must have been on the cutting edge of piano design and technology in its time.

@steps222 6 жыл бұрын
I agree that "Lebewohl" is far more descriptive than the more popular title. With that in mind, I think Brautigam's approach is too assertive, even violent. I've been listening to a lot of his work recently: Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven Sonatas. He's a master musician, and he makes the most persuasive case anybody has for playing these works on a fortepiano. It's fascinating to listen to his control of the instrument and to hear the progression of period instruments he plays from early Haydn onward. He even used three instruments in the Beethoven recordings to replicate the sound the Mater would have gotten--though he couldn't hear it, himself. Getting back to the original mood of this sonata, nobody has played it like Ivan Moravec. It's a loving benediction in his hands, culminating in a joyous final movement. Few artists have ever approached Moravec' spirituality or mastery of the instrument.

Great performance. I just wish the camera would stop moving around so much. A new angle every few seconds - and for no reason. The mics are closer than any human ear (apart from the player) would ever be. So we hear every pedal creak and the action noises. But that's a question of personal preference.

It's a well maintained and outstandingly tuned/ prepared, and properly played period intrument. A fine artist is conjuring up intentions of a deaf genius of an era of great achievement, through the use of sounds and silences, to express his own ideas of emotional energetic content as an Earth bound being, and your talking about where the mic is?

Its the difference, as in fluxuation of relative humidity (🔺️=change) that moves the forces of the belly system and string tensions. Thereby structural forces experience a flux (wholly and in part), all the way to the cellular architecture, satisfying known and unknown hygroscopic properties of the wood species. Keeping the instrument's immediate micro environment and the larger space (venue/room) at a stable relative humidity will help insure tuning stability and the longevity of the instrument and its inherent structure.
