I played that piece years ago and then neglected it. I have to get it back. Thanks, Andras.

This is the best rendition I have heard.

It's the first time I’ve listened to a pianist play this sonata using the Barry Cooper edition (just check out the third movement). However, I don’t understand why he skipped the full chords in the right hand in bars 32, 33, 124, and 125 of the first movement.

Oggi risento queste interpretazioni di ABM. Che tecnica miracolosa, che geniali sonorità. Chi ha suonato Scarlatti come Lui ? Nessuno. ABM genio insuperato ed insuperabile. Mi coglie tanta malinconia nel figgere la mente alla Sua mancanza.

grotesque interpretation, but tremendous No one can play like this including chopin

I just listened yo Ashkenazy recording live 1980. Much better. Ashkenazy underrated, Schiff overrated. Sorry, many good things but I dislike.

Thanks. Appreciate this. I have just memorized the whole piece and am working on fluidity. Still a little slow on the melodic minor scales at the end. I also call them jazz minor scales😂😂Such a wonderful cool piece that could be many songs within one. What a great composer! Do you know any other really powerful Chopin like this, or even another composer? I prefer Cminor n g minor generally but did play Pathetique as well . Thanks👍✨🙏🏽🩵❤️💙

starts at 4:45

what a strange performance! - so much slower than most, where's the ebullient excitement at the return of a dear friend? the tempo marking is Vivacissimo .., this is like allegretto - - very eccentric, and it doesn't work

0:54 😂❤

autore ed interprete di lusso - complimenti

Team Beethoven, here. Great composer. He is part of the group of composers with "something to say", not a bunch of formulas and mathematical harmonies. And Schiff is sensible as a kid, but eyes and fingers of a tiger.

I could listen all day ❤

<3 eternal love

What a wonderful exploration of distinguishing between long, over-arching lines from secondary voices. His incisiveness cuts through the slobbery emotional excessiveness of so many pianists today, and simply presents these works as the composer intended,

🥇🎹

Madonna che schifezza.

The pitch is a semitone high and the tempos accordingly are faster than he played.

Fantastic concert with Sir Andras in Paris yesterday night. Lack of words to describe his mastery.

Beethoven und Schiff.... Schwerstgewichte!

Hi, I'm interested in using this beautiful interpretation as background introduction in a short story audiobook; "The Bet" - By Chekhov. I need around one minute of music. How do I contact the owner to obtain the rights?

Mad dogs having fun

21:20 Brahms IV

I want to play this sonata too. 🙂

Straordinario.

baren boim still i the lead

Sehr herzlichen Dank für diese Veröffentlichung und Maestro Schiff für seinen warmen und humorvollen Vortrag 💖

Beautifully

As a music student and pianiist raised in Baja California, Mexico, I was fortunate to have studied with Hungarian pianist Istvan Nadas at San Francisco State University in the late sixties. He was friends with the chair of International Programs for the CA state college system that coordinated student travel studies abroad, US Rep. from Hayward, CA, Tom Lantos. He was also Hungarian and I am certain they helped me assure my accepptance into the study-abroad program in Spain, where I studied for two years in Madrid. I am certain they saw this young mexican kid in the midst of the cultural desert of California/Mexico, and decided to offer me the opportunity to broaden my horizon by accepting me for study in Spain. For that I am truly grateful. This interview with András reminds me of the humanitarian and intelligent manner of the few people I have had contact with from Hungary. I have been studying his videos of Beethoven Sonatas and am impressed of the breath of his knowledge and insights into Beethoven''s thinking, humor and skillful composing. To sum this up... I say "GRACIAS A LA VIDA" and that I love Hungary and Hungarians.

In his introductory comments before this performance, Maestro Schiff said that when he was a young man, he could play most of the notes in the sonata, but he had no idea what was going on. Today, he said, is just the opposite! I'll take him at his word - his playing always sounds wonderful to me.

Indeed - an extraordinary, wonderful interpretation !!

I have more respect for him than any other living musician and his documentary on schubert is my favourite music documentary and a master piece in itself. Andras is very very special. He's an absolute gentleman and his insights are second to none. Every single word he said in the schubert documentary I was in full agreement with. He's a modest man. No ego at all. He's the humblest musician, almost awkward when he speaks to the audience. He's a gift to the world of music and will live forever.

Andras, alles Gute zum 70. Geburtstag ‼️😘🥰

Merci Maestro, vous êtes un homme exceptionnel, par vos interprétations, la façon que vous dirigé un orchestre, vos mots, par votre humanite, Merci infiniment

I am sick of the interviewer constantly interrupting Schiff. Good interviewers do not need to do this. I have quit at 04.25 and will not return. Although I am interested in what Schiff said. But that kind of controlling the interviewed is not decent.

33:28 this is ridiculous. Is he playing a Chopin waltz ? What is this for a non-funny joke ? Schiff, if you are not able to, play everything else, but do not shit on this holy score.

Not as good as Hamelin. Enjoy a real pianist playing this. ua-cam.com/video/4UD60MTbwCY/v-deo.html

In his lecture on the op.106,(available on UA-cam-recorded in 2006) A. Schiff was of the opinion that, in the first movement, the pianists should follow Beethoven's metronome mark of minim= 138, especially since it is the only metronome mark that is due to Beethoven himself, and that , contrary to common belief, Beethoven's metronome was not "wrong", that he had examined it himself etc. So what happened since? With minim=138, the first movement's duration should be less than 8 minutes! This is of course impossible, as the fastest 1st movement so far is 8 mn 50 by Schnabel (minim=120)and we feel it's not right. I believe a reasonable tempo should be close to 10mn or thereabout(See, e.g. Levit, P. Serkin, M. Perahia ...)

Beautiful 3rd movement, 4th movement sounded like he was straining himself -- perhaps time to retire this one from his repertoire

Incredibly done we listen all the voices in detail...

Marvellous.

Pure genious❤️❤️❤️

Lol andras schiff givinf advice in this piece is like biden leading a prep rally at an nfl game

34:50 E stato scritto in merito alla sonata 106. Quanto di più grande sia stato concepito da mente umana. Beethoven tu sia giunca il mio abbraccio da cuore a cuore, con un immenso grazie, tu sai il perché.

Extraordinary! Thank you for uploading this for us to enjoy.

Listening to classical music can be a form of meditation. It's a way to escape the chaos of the modern world and find a sense of serenity and balance in the intricate melodies and harmonies.
