Beethoven's Kreutzer

I'm quite fortunate, I'm working on the whole sonata. Great piece. Any insights on how to approach it, tips, experiences? Favorite recordings/artists?

I own Menuhin - Kempff, but other good choice is Perlman - Ashkenazy

The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.

I have the Argerich/Kremer and Ashkenazy/Perlman, both excellent.  However I've never played it.

you lucky dog!  I started working on this one to play at a music festival this summer, and they cancelled the chamber music section!!!! erg!  I am so eager to do chamber music with strings, but I never seem to get to.  So I am totally jealous!  Tell all, because some of us wil be living vicariously through you!
