and then rebuild it!
(from minute 29:00 to the end)
among those found, I like Lisitsa's interpretation

This one by Schiff seems to me a tad tending towards the Romantic.
Lisitsa's is wonderful.
An interpretation that Schiff will surely not like is Gould's...
Even though it is too fast for me, as is the case with the execution of much of his repertoire, I find that his interpretation is very, very beautiful and expressive, while maintaining a classical/neo-romantic style where Beethoven's figure is indeed located.

Yes, yes!!
So let's listen to it.
Some time ago I wrote that Gould and Lisitsa are, in their differences, two genius pianists. I confirm!

Just my luck then!

Strangely....I, who have never been able to stand Gould, find myself quite [liking] this interpretation of his third tempo... Schiff...to say that Czerny was wrong or lied...it's a stretch...given that Czerny left descriptions of the playing styles of other pianists...from Hummel to Mozart to Beethoven to Haydn to Clementi...what do we do, just assume they are all romanticized?

I really like Barenboim's interpretation.

I would like to hear your opinion regarding this

I am already listening to your suggestions... I realize that I have become a bit difficult with Beethoven
Member
I have always been, Frank... but I am intolerant regarding all of Baroque and Classicism ahahah
Kissin certainly doesn't make me go crazy, but I prefer him to Schiff and Baremboim combined; maybe it's just me, but I continue to think that one of the best remains Schnabel... considering also all the audio limitations of 1934

Finally I have listened to all the videos posted before my reply.
So... great Andras Schiff. I agree with him on everything he said (about The Tempest - I only listened from the 29th minute). And this is why I like Barenboim, for his performance with feeling. But Lisitsa isn't bad either.
A fast performance, like Glenn Gould's, completely ruins everything: all the emotional charge and the wonderful beauty of this movement are lost, becoming a mere display of technique, in my modest opinion. Then, everyone has their own personal tastes and perhaps prefers the "galloping" of Glenn Gould (to use a term used by Schiff) over the interpretation of Barenboim and Lisitsa.

I confirm my choice: Gould
I can't even believe it myself.... I can't stand Gould ahahahah
Member
I liked Kissin, Richter and Vanoncini a little less: Richter because in some passages it doesn't seem very fluid to me (notes too detached, in my opinion), Vanoncini because he already starts going a bit too fast for my taste.

Tonight we're working on Beethoven, but wow, the "girl"

Not bad Frank... I don't dislike it

Is it possible that there isn't a version of Martha Argerich around? At this point, I would like to hear a third woman at the opera.

I've been listening to the 3rd movement of the Tempest for an hour now. It's fine that I like it so much and that I haven't listened to it for a long time, but now you are starting to make me feel nauseous.
P.S.: Fliter is good.
