02:20 BEETHOVEN Sonata No. 30 in E Major, Op. 109
21:50 BEETHOVEN Sonata No. 31 in A-Flat Major, Op. 110
41:15 BEETHOVEN Sonata No. 32 in C Minor, Op. 111
One of my greatest Beethoven-experiences ever!!
Bravo! A privilege to hear these three late sonatas, on a great fortepiano.
As the recital continued, my ear and brain adjusted to the sound, and to me it sounded quite contemporary, yet more intimately Beethoven.
Bravo! You've killed my prejudices against the forepiano
Thank you very much, and God bless you.
49:30 Sounds a little like the last few seconds of Chopin's Revolutionary etude leading up to the ending. Any relationship?
Good catch! Chopin might have had this passage in mind when composing the Revolutionary Etude.
great!I especially like the movement at 8:42
My favorite movement of Beethovens piano sonatas :)
Thanks for uploading.
Intriguing performances. In a few places (for example, Op. 109 first variation), seems like there are added notes? Really beautiful and thoughtful readings though. With a few little idiosyncrasies that make the performances fresh.
i love the sound of conrad graf pianos
wonderfull
Glad to see some early music.
Illuminary. Well done. Bravo!
very nice!
it's Conrad Graf, not Carl
Impressive performance: highly emotional, beautiful phrasing, articulation and a wide range of colours.
Please upload more!...I am actually enjoying Beethoven! How about Schumann and Brahms?!
Forget the rest, it’s either Beethoven or nothing! You can listen to other composers only under a certain term, that is always knowing that their music is always so much less then Beethoven’s music, that’s the only way you can admire other music. If not, then don’t ever even think about Beethoven’s music anymore, because Beethoven is from a far different higher world then the rest of the other ones. Not talking about Bach or Mozart, but the rest...
@@ProdigyImprovisation you clearly havent gotten enough Chopin yet. Or Liszt. The last true masters. Everyone else was merely imitations
Solid Snake I say this on behalf of Myself as I’ve heard many different composers including having a cd collection of Chopin’s music as well. When I realized what actually feeds my soul the most, the others turned out to be less important. Your term of everyone else was merely imitations is incorrect because no composer is or was an imitation. Every individual composer is & was themselves & so was their music. So your term is an incorrect one, but I get what you mean figuratively speaking. Your favorites are Chopin & Liszt, everyone is biased about their own opinions. However i am not entirely biased about my opinion only because besides me being biased about my favorite composers, it is the absolute truth that Beethoven stands above all & you can disagree with this. A simple example to this is, then how come he is the most famous throughout the world? Not every stranger on the street knows Chopin or Liszt, but ask anyone in the world on the street of the name Beethoven, even a homeless person would respond by saying oh Beethoven, is he the musician/composer? Yes.
@@ProdigyImprovisation no everyone else were imitations im pretty sure. Beethoven was dead by the time Chopin and Liszt rose to stardom. Everyone copied Chopins bassline/harmonies and Liszt' Bravura style. You just havent listened enough yet, though you claim so
Solid Snake Oh your talking about in modern times everyone else is imitations. Yes, I thought you meant all composer in the past including Beethoven were imitations except for Chopin. I got confused by what you meant. In that case yes I agree they’re indeed imitations for the now contemporary world of composers after Chopin & Liszt I do agree with that. I now understand what you meant by Chopin & Liszt being the last master composers of music.. Even though they were the last masters, they can be masters but it’s another thing if they’re a genius, this is where I mean Beethoven was the most genius out of them all.
孙嘉燕您真厉害。你打算到多伦多来吗。
sorry - dont like the sound. remember - Beethoven knew pianos would get better and better, so he wrote stuff that was not supposed to be at its best on fortepianos,
What a stupid comment
@@tamer3397 yes it is a bit of a stupid comment. He's a great pianist, anyway...
It is hard for non-Westerners to grasp the spirit of great Western music.....
Not necessarily non westerners, but a certain type of character/soul with the right sensitivity and brought up with the right cultural exposure. This ‘pianist’, like most others of this caliber, western or not, just doesnt quite get it...
Paul Jones you realise this is Fortepiano??,,,not a modern Concert Grand.
If you took your head out of your own ass for more than five minutes you might have actually *heard* this rendering of the final Sonatas for what it is - a probing, nuanced, brilliant performance full of life. Aren’t you the same type of know-nothing to wax about how ‘universal’ Beethoven is? Universal ... for white people? Fuck off. Mr. Sun is among my generations’ most fascinating Beethoven interpreters (he has played all 32 in concert), and unfortunately all you can claim to be is one of our worlds’ most toxic fuck heads.
Music is the language of humanity, not just for Western people. Beethoven's final symphony is literally about universal brotherhood and joy. His late sonatas describe the sublime emotions of every person that listens to the music and understands its syntax, and that ability is by no means limited culturally. Paul and Charles, both of you don't even provide anything to support your statement, besides some broad platitude that just makes you look stupid and horribly disconnected from the musical world.
Hard for a grub to grasp the spirit of great Western music as well.
