Best Interpretation on Beethoven Sonata No. 3?

[chopinfrederic]

I heard this song and immediately fell in love (he's one of my favorite composer).

It's hard, if not impossible, to ever determine a singe 'best' interpretation of a work.

The music is greater than any individual interpretation can ever be.

However, this interpretation is pretty amazing:

Perahia is pretty bland. For me, Anne Ficher, Gilels, Richter, and Nat.

You really should learn to do that for the sake of we lazy sods.

No no no!!!
It's easier for us mobile device users to just post a link
If you do the other way it won't load.

Being desk bound, I hadn't realised that.  Perhaps the best option is to do both.

That would work best.
If I want to find the link to the other way I have to hit quote and copy and paste the link out of there. It's a bit tedious.

If I'm really interested in hearing it, I'll send the poster a message asking for just the link. I know I've done that to you before.

I remember liking an EARLY recording of Friedrich Gulda. His 3rd and 4th movements were so lively, spirited, engaging, wreckless, and just... spectacular. The later version (actually, entire set of Beethoven Sonatas) was nowhere close and mostly disappointing. He should've stopped after the first one...

Best, M

Claudio Arrau :

[d3boy2002]

the best interpretation is your own!  

...otherwise, +1 for Michelangeli

[ignaceii]

There are just too many. I prefer to see the whole cycle. A. SCHIFF.
as for op 2, nr 3, myself. The best is what you make or create.

[thalbergmad]

A. SCHIFF.

Possibly the worst Beethoven interpreter of all time.

Thal

Thal

I don't think you don't know anything about music.
Nobody else than Schiff let's the voices speak as he.
But your name is Thalberg, that says it all. Technique without music.
Stupid reply, as you don't even give arguments for your statement.

As for your education: Watch the next link. It also includes a link of the lectures, with music Schiff
gave in London

I find these "Best of" threads foolish. This is not something to post on the performance forum.
As if someone owns all interpretations of a given piece, and compare as a jury member, where the candidats are the masters of the past and today.
You understand ?
Utterly useless, as if you don't now anything sensible to discuss.
It reminds me of TV shows, "and the BEST FINALIST for today is...".

Agreed, a bit pointless. That being said, I usually gravitate towards Solomon in Beethoven. Lovely luminous sound.

ooh, don't know that I can let that go unanswered please look at his op.70.

I should say I disagree with you. It IS something to post on the performance forum because it is related to the performance of a pianist.

Potentially it's an interesting way to share interpretations of great pianists, but I do fear that, unless the posters have studied the piece in minute detail (I learnt it when I was much younger but have not looked at it recently), it tends to end up more as "favourite interpretation" rather than an objective "best", which is so difficult to quantify anyway.

That's why I say, it's like trying to play the jury member in a jury of a big competition between the greatest pianists of our time.
That is pure nonsense. And try, you need to have studied each of their interpretations in detail.
That's the work of BBC magazine, Gramophone, not for amateurs, or semi-professionals.
And soon you get : that topic best interpretation of la Campanella. That is pure senseless and puts this forum no good.
