This would be ...Tantris this is astonishingly good. This would be the best version of No. 11 I've heard I think. Utterly compelling playing! The slow movement (of 11) was (for me) my only caveat - it didn't 'convince' in the way that the surrounding movements do: - blowing the dust off an old Kempff platter, and cuing up the Adagio, I was transported back to the quiet poetry of "how i think it goes" (!!) But even there, having heard how Sokolov opens the Arietta of 32, with a similar 'approach', I'm going back to re-listen to No 11 again.! Unlike Op111, No 11 is not really a poster-boy for the LVB piano sonatas - it's wonderful to hear a reading that just infuses it with such life, passion and meaning. <BR/>You're totally right about the Maestoso of No 32 - quite extraordinary!! Whadda way to open! The whole reading (32) is a fantastic living, breathing thing.<BR/>For me, one the most refreshing things about Sokolov's playing is his lack of that 'gestural self-awareness', that inhibits (or inhabits!) so may maestros of the 88. He's not hung up on the gestures of pianism, nor the hide-bound sanctity of these sacrosanct monoliths that he's called to approach (ie The Beethoven Sonatas - *especially* the last one..).<BR/><BR/>The piano is kind of klanky isn't it? At first I thought he was on one of those old-fangled forte pianos, or a DX7 with the 'Grand Piano' patch, but I think it's just in the way it was recorded (I'm guessing your FLACs sound like what came out your radio).<BR/>The audience are mostly pretty well behaved cough&grunt - wise. How they can resist applauding wildly between some of the movement breaks just escapes me..<BR/>Jimmy Yancey fans will be disappointed to hear that Mr Sokolov doesn't really 'boogie it up' in the 2nd movement of No 32. But his trill-work is pretty good at the end there.....<BR/><BR/>thanks Tantris - Appreciated!servicetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11411489012950761292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357696082833015704.post-11545500163962334952009-01-12T20:22:00.000+01:002009-01-12T20:22:00.000+01:00Thanks - that is indeed a great reading, with that...Thanks - that is indeed a great reading, with that sense of languidness yet total control that Michelangeli had.Tantrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557363100127176047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357696082833015704.post-37810991744038036002009-01-12T18:01:00.000+01:002009-01-12T18:01:00.000+01:00I think you're really going to like this.http://er...I think you're really going to like this.<BR/><BR/>http://erlenlieder.blogspot.com/2008/12/beethoven-piano-sonata-op-111-chopin.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357696082833015704.post-73675401069305555862009-01-12T14:47:00.000+01:002009-01-12T14:47:00.000+01:00I am interested in all things to do with Michelang...I am interested in all things to do with Michelangeli - do you have a link to 'An Die Musik'?Tantrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557363100127176047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357696082833015704.post-81779793363761634382009-01-12T04:16:00.000+01:002009-01-12T04:16:00.000+01:00by the way, have you heard michelangeli's version ...by the way, have you heard michelangeli's version of sonata 32 from london, 1990? it's extremely good - posted now at An Die Musik.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357696082833015704.post-18852221000108483272009-01-12T04:12:00.000+01:002009-01-12T04:12:00.000+01:00you are a god - 32 is my favorite!you are a god - 32 is my favorite!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357696082833015704.post-16790131653476889552009-01-11T19:26:00.000+01:002009-01-11T19:26:00.000+01:00FLAChttp://rapidshare.com/files/182158173/Sokolov_...FLAC<BR/><BR/>http://rapidshare.com/files/182158173/Sokolov_LvB_1.zip<BR/>http://rapidshare.com/files/182164168/Sokolov_LvB_2.zip<BR/><BR/>Enjoy!Tantrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557363100127176047noreply@blogger.com
