Ludwig van Beethoven

G major

Enregistrements

Premier Choix

Emil Gilels / Leopold Ludwig / Philharmonia Orchestra

1957

Gil's primary recommendation. A fairly well-recorded stereo version. Gilels combines power, wonderful color, and an active imagination. The slow movement is 'gorgeous'.

Également Recommandés

Wilhelm Kempff / Paul van Kempen / Berlin Philharmonic

1953 Mono recording

A legendary mono set. Van Kempen brings energy and drama, while Kempff has an immaculate, magical, and captivating artistry. Essential listening.

Clifford Curzon / Hans Knappertsbusch / Vienna Philharmonic

1954 Mono recording

A mono recording. Curzon has a nice, delicate touch and an active artistic mind, but is also powerful. A wonderful interpretation for a 'thinking person's concerto'.

Arthur Schnabel / Sir Malcolm Sargent / London Philharmonic

1933 Historic recording

A prime recommendation despite the dim sound and hiss. Schnabel's artistry is 'off the charts.' Very powerful and dramatic.
