Ein perfekt auf einander eingespieltes Team! Schade, dass diese Aufnahme so wenig Klicks hat. Der dritte langsame Satz gehört zu dem Schönsten und "Innigstem", was Beethoven geschrieben hat. - Nun ja, die Zahl der Klassiker-Fans ist überschaubar. Und, oh Wunder, es gibt sogar klassische Stücke mit sehr vielen Klicks.

The tempo is slight slow compared to the version I am used to listening but it made it all the more better and allowed me listen to this piece from a new perspective... 8:35 is my favorite section of this music no matter who plays it... because of the rough and dry sound (I don't know what else to call it) of this music that get so much exaggerated in this section.. this particular rendition is (for me) sweet to listen and they managed to make even is section sound sweet.

I couldn't play like this in a million years, but 135 is not a piece for an ad hoc ensemble. It's lacking in unaniity and intensity this way. For the very reason of its simplicity it's hugely exposed piece.
