Exemplary recording & performance
+ Compliments from a declared non-fan
+ Beethoven Sonatas
Someday, in the not too distant future, technology will evolve in such a fashion that will allow the listener to "choose" his own sitting position in relation to the recorded artists.

Beethoven: The Last 3 Piano Sonatas, Nos. 30-32
Ludwig van Beethoven, Rudolf Serkin
Sony/Bmg Int'l, 2003
A piano colossus plays Beethoven!
+ A BIT VARIABLE
The Sonata No.30 may be well considered as part of an impressive Trilogy, in which languid flame of Beethoven begins to vanish. The profound homesickness is far to be self indulgent.
