The drums on the beat hit hard AF as Greedo melodically yells about how he’s quick to dog a bitch like Beethoven (presumably the sloppy St. Either of those choices should be good ones for sound & performance.Another ridiculous banger off the new Greedo album. He is also in the process of recording a new set for EMI.

Most of those recording are available on the 'Great Pianists of the 20th Century' series. Steven Kovacevich - He recorded many of the sonatas for Philips in the 60's. Emil Giles - his DG recording are worth considering. Vladimir Ashkenazy - he was quite a pianist before turning his attentions towards conducting.

Originally recorded by Alan Silver for the Connoisseur Society, and lic. Ivan Moravec - while his recordings were made about the same time as those of Kempff the sound is much better. While he is more exciting Brendel, I think some of the below would better, without being too mannered.įor excitement & good sound I would suggest the following: The performances are good solid ones, however.

I own the Kempff stereo set, & I think you would be disappointed in the sonics, I am. it would help if any of you can make recommendations, taking into account my above requirements, based on your own experience.Īmazon links would help since i do most of my classical shopping there. however i have experience with none of their repertoire and hence cannot make a decision. So far my research has tossed up a few names: barenboim, brendel, kempff etc etc. the quality of the recording is of especial importance to me also as i listen to my collection almost exclusively on headphones - stereo recordings are a must. i would something that has the passion of horowitz, the raw emotion of gould, the depth of rubinstein and perhaps the even and steady tempo of eschenbach. I have experience with other pianists but am unfamiliar with their beethoven works. I am looking for emotion in the recording. i am looking to keep costs down, so an entire cycle of beethoven's works is notwhat i want.

anything else on the cd is extra icing for me, but not neccessary. I am looking for a cd that must have these 4 sonatas. I have experience with most of beethoven's piano sonatas, but like only a few, these are namely -ġ. I am looking to add selected piano sonatas by beethoven to my classical collection.
