Bespin 8,674 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I often judge a pianist by his rendition of the Moonlight Sonata 2nd movement. Too quick or too slow and that's a fail...

Indeed, although I think he occasionally sounds too polished and mechanical. Have you heard his most recent Beethoven piano sonata album? Finally, we have his take on the complete Moonlight sonata, after he recorded only the slow movement for the film Immortal Beloved. He's the only one who manages to make it sound right at this fast tempo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,674 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I prefer him for Bach. For Beethoven's piano sonata it's Kempff (historical) and Paul Lewis (modern). Some sonatas by Rubinstein too. Did you heard Paul Lewis? I love his Diabelli's variations too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too quick or too slow and that's a fail... I must say that I find this approach to determine whether you like a pianist or not a bit funny - you make your decision based exclusively on two minutes of music by a single composer - or did you actually mean the most famous 1st movement? In my own 25 years as a musician, I learned that broadly speaking, at the end of the day there's no such thing as "too quick" or "too slow" in the music (excluding those most obvious, notorious and greatly exaggerated deviations), there's only different interpretations - and all of them may be fascinating for one reason or another. One of the most famous examples are definitely Glenn Gould's two recordings of Goldberg Variations made almost three decades apart, one extremely fast and youthfully impatient while the other is slow, thoughtful and plodding - just as probably his own personal character and/or interpretational point of view changed over those decades. I own, love and listen to both recordings (although I do prefer the slower one) - my choice of one or the other can depend on my mood, feelings, weather ... Williams also conducts his pieces in different tempi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
