Beethoven's Op. 109
on: October 22, 2010, 12:16:08 PM
I've used the search function but found nothing, so I thought I'd start a thread on this. Beethoven's Sonata No. 30 is my second favorite piano sonata of all-time (though his Op. 111 is constantly fighting for that place), and I'd like to get a really good recording of it. I've heard that Gilels plays it very well, but I'm curious about other recommendations as well. Thanks.

If you're looking for a good amateur recording... I performed this only two weeks ago:

It might be worth a listen if you like.

I recall Vladimir Feltsman's to be of a very good standard.

As IŽve been listening more and more to recordings on historical instruments, I can warmly recommend Malcolm Bilsons recording, on fortepiano. Very touching, as I remember it.
Going to learn this piece myself soon...if IŽll have enough time for it...

Depends a lot on your taste but some of my favourites are Brendel, Kempff, and Barenboim. Also think that Ashkenazy's rendition is very special for me

It's some kind of on-demand online radio broadcast. In a similar way to Youtube but only audio and using a software program, not a web application, you can find thousands and thousands of disc recordings.

I like Andras Schiff's performances. Also his lectures-at-the-keyboard on the sonatas (free at the Guardian web site) are marvelous.
