Pianist identification
on: April 04, 2007, 05:15:02 AM
I could use some help identifying the performer of this piece, the Op. 109 from his/her complete set of the Beethoven sonatas. I'm thinking along the lines of Brendel.
I can post more for identification purposes if necessary.

I haven’t heard that recording before and I don’t know who it is. Also, my computer speakers are rubbish so I can’t gauge the sound fully.
Having said that, he/she sounds a very very good international standard, even touch with good phrasing etc.
I also think he/she is not very old. He/She is a little impetuous and the pauses/silences are sometimes a little lacking or learned rather than felt. The interpretation also has a little to prove rather than just being a natural expression, (not that there are many that get past this stage!). Just a gut feeling though and I might be completely wrong of course as the intensity is akin to Brendel’s digital set and the, in some respects, Mozart like classical approach reminds me a bit of Soloman.
I would love to hear the rest and thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope somebody posts an answer soon

The files were downloaded anonymously. Makes me wish I kept better track of exactly what I am getting.
Here is the first mvmt. of Op. 111.

Any more ideas?

The Op111 is definitely Brendel, from the Great Pianists of the 20th Century set, I'm not very sure about Op. 109, but it might be Brendel too.
