Simply the greatest account of this Sonata. Even the studio account does not compare. Neither do his other live versions. Nobody else comes close to such perfection in this Sonata
Barenboim was a second-rated! Barenboim the most over-rated ever! The best Waldstein players are Really=Emil Gilels Wilhelm Kempff( the most beautiful piano sound!) Radu Lupu( The most most colorful piano sound ever!) Mikhail Pletnev the most powerful! Pletnev the best technique! Vladimir Ashkenazy(The most volcano colorful piano sound!)
Just heard Igor Levit play this sonata beautifully in his own way but this old monster is in a league of his own. The piano becomes orchestral which is what was intended by Beethoven. I'm afraid Gilels is peerless in the Waldstein. Others may try to snatch this title for decades to come....
Supreme master of the Waldstein. Nobody has ever matched it.

Except Kissin at Verbier
Evgeny Kissin the ice cold piano sound player!
Pletnev
Barenboim’s is incredible

這是所有演奏者中,最接近貝多芬原創的版本!
Gilels version is my favorite, unmatched performance
Gilels is one the most poetic and at the same time one of most powerful pianist ever. Adorable.

Agreed. His single finest interpretation for me
Great,Gilles wonderful plays!
Patient, lyrical, and with a clarity appropriate to the composer.
Anyone got the first two movements?
You can find here the complete Sonata 21 Beethoven, Waldstein. Playing Gilels .
It seems this sonata was composed for him!
Mit dieser Darbietung kann seine Studioeinspielung leider nicht mithalten. Solche Funken sprüht man wohl eher mit Risiko!
Fantastic❤
Best ever❤
