Truly amazing. Without doubt one of the best versions of this fantastic sonata! The rhythmic life, strength and organisation of the material that Moravec achieves is unique.
Holy Crap, this guy...I am not a pianist, but studied music composition (no, I am not as good as Beethoven) myself, and though I can hardly play the piano, can still recognize genius at that finger-twisting art. This is not only one of the fastest, but undoubtedly the absolute best, of interpretations of this sonata that I myself have heard, and I have heard a few. Yes, he takes the first and third movements fast; some might say too fast, but all of the notes and part-leading are clear. His transitions are perfect. I'm sure Beethoven himself could not have performed it better (or as fast) in his prime as a pianist, before he got too deaf to perform in public, and would have been blown away.
Waaay too fast. In the 1st movement, there is too much of a tempo inconsistency between sections, it takes away from the completeness sense of it and, in my view, takes away from the interpretation. The 3rd part is Alllegro ma non troppo for crying out loud, the guy goes right into presto, which completely kills the interpretation. The technique is great, but one should not try to set the speed record here. There are quite a few great interpretations I would suggest that don't have this issue: Arrau, Brendel, Pletnev
I think the 3rd movement is great in Moravec's tempo. A matter of personal preference I guess. I'd assert that most people's conception of "Allegro ma non troppo" is closer to Beethoven's slower "Allegro ma non tanto".
This is in my opinion one of the greatest solo piano sonatas ever composed in music.
My second favorite Beethoven sonata behind op 111!
I've never heard the first movement played like this. It's a little slower with more of a staccato. I really like the effect.

Not a good piece.
