I have found his Beethoven recordings to be intellectually convincing, but emotionally rather bland. I've heard some Brendel concert tapes, however, that carried more emotional conviction. Hence, I was doubly disappointed at this Hammerklavier , which does come from a concert performance but doesn't ...             Beethoven: Klaviersonaten Opp. 101 & 106 Ludwig van Beethoven, Emil Gilels Dg Imports, 2001 Once again, Gilels plays it safe Emil Gilels had so much to offer as a pianist. His live recordings of Op. 101, among other things, prove it. There are more wrong notes, but also more feeling and excitement. Here in both sonatas he is simply too cautious. It sounds like he's reading every note, but never feeling any of it. ...             Beethoven: Sonata in B-Flat Major, Op. 106 "Hammerklavier"; Sonata in A Major, Op. 101 Ludwig van Beethoven, Vladimir Feltsman Music Masters Jazz, 1998 Crisp, Clean, Delicious The Hammerklavier is widely considered the most difficult work Beethoven wrote, period. And it is. Mr. Feltsman, an obvious intellectual pianist, breaks this piece apart and puts it together splendidly. Every chord, every vicious, scathing run and hand-cramping passage is crisp and confident.

Weingartner) Ludwig van Beethoven, Felix Weingartner, ... Naxos, 2004 Curious you must be... You may have heard Liszt's transcriptions of Beethoven symphonies. They are fine works and an interesting way to listen to all-too-familiar masterpieces. Their reason for existance was the spread of Beethoven's music when symphonic concerts were rare and out of the reach for most people - not to ...             Beethoven: Piano Sonatas Nos. 29 & 30 Ludwig van Beethoven, François-Frederic Guy Harmonia Mundi Fr., 1998 Everest + Excellent Surprise!
