Just heard this, and it's completely floored me and risen straight to the top of my list of best performances. The power, passion and subtlety of this interpretation are stunning, I don't know if it's just me, but after listening to this, it's like listening to the piece for the first time again. It's made me totally re-evaluate how I'll approach the piece. Just had to say something, sorry if it's a bit inane.

Which one? 1932 or 1977? |

The Horowitz recording from '32 is my favorite of the B Minor Sonata. (I also love Barere's 1947 performance from Carnegie Hall for it's sheer insanity)

1977 based on the clarity of the recording. I've not heard the '32, I'd love to though. His earlier recordings are not as readily available as the later ones, but I was lucky enough to find the 1930 Rach 3 with Albert Coates and the LSO- wow. Sheer mastery. If anyone's got the '32 sonata I'd be tremendously grateful if you could post it. Thanx in advance.

For us musicians, the music of Beethoven is the pillar of fire and cloud of mist which guided the Israelites through the desert. (Roughly quoted, Franz Liszt.)

not insane. horowitz did that to me as well with his recording of the sonata, as well as with his Mephisto Waltz recording. |

Jazz is to classical what Mcdonald's is to great restaurants. It's trash and will allways be even if lots of people like it.
