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

And who would have expected Ingrid FLITER, honestly I didn't know her.

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.

Tell me about it, it had been years... but we aren't going to bed without Martha, then that's it, I promise.

You find the link for me, and then I'll listen to it myself

I would also like to pull the "summe" [sums/summaries] a bit on the matter

Waiting for it to pop up

I don't think there is any interpretation of the "Tempest" by Argerich on YouTube; instead, I found a very beautiful one by Kempff:

I like Ashkenazy's, but I think my favorite remains Barenboim's.

For those who love fast performances, I found one by Pollini (I don't like it):

Am I wrong or has nobody brought up Brendel?
Here it is (starting from 8'29"):

Aside from Lisitsa, the hottest ones are missing

Lola Astanova, let's settle for the first movement

...and Yuya Wang

Anyway Lisitsa, her interpretation is very beautiful!

After re-listening to all the suggestions, for several reasons I think that if I had only one chance I would pay for the Lisitsa ticket. I closed many of them after a handful of seconds; I recognize that Gould is amazing but he doesn't give me what I want/am looking for from a piece like this.

Listening to Schnabel, one understands why he was Glenn Gould's favorite pianist ...

interesting, after a while, to dust off this topic:

I continue to stick to my idea: first Schnabel, second Gould

Me too, Frank

But what are you telling me - what are you all telling me - about Giovanni Bellucci? (attached file)

io "adored" him in the Hammerklavier and in Les Adieux

Dear Bianca, with your link I received 3 surprises:

1) I didn't remember your topic

2) I didn't remember having listened to this sonata so recently

3) At the time, in case of doubt, I had voted for Kissin; I must listen again, because this time, before Red's link, I voted for Lisitsa ... and Kissin was among the choices.

This also demonstrates that what we look for in a piece can change as the period of one's life changes, but I must re-listen to the link I had shared at the time which is still available

A nice passage after Schnabel, especially in terms of metronome, here the interest shifts to the sound. At times, however, it seemed a bit "heavy" to me. We are talking about small things, but we are comparing performers of a very high level, and something is missing here even if it is truly excellent in some points.

I confirm what I wrote, everything is related to the needs of a certain moment. Even after a couple of weeks, things can change

I'll make a proposal myself, I don't think one has been made, let's see...

I am not very enthusiastic about Emil Gilels' performance: it seems a bit too "mechanical" to me, or at least not very fluid.
