I find it fascinating how often he doesn't look at the keys. I know it's not too hard, but I wouldn't do that in a recital because looking at the keys would be safer
The first time I heard Piano Sonata No. 14, it was on Alicia Keys’ intro to her debut Album Songs in A Minor. Laughably, I just thought it was her own original piece. A decade and a half later, I came across _this_ masterpiece and realized that it was from Beethoven. Since then, I’ve heard many live versions, but I always come back to this one. I can’t listen to the others.
For me, Beethoven is Kempf. Only he so brilliantly, organically, trustingly and carefully brings into our hearts that which is infinitely dear to him - his Beethoven.
Wonderful feeling. Kemptt and Arnau are true masters in developing the sentiment and feeling required to properly interpret this piece. Never go for perfect robotic playing, go for human feelings.
Kempf is in my opinion really the best one for this sonata. Every time I hear Beethoven's moonlight I am amazed that a man could write such Divine music
I still find myself coming back to hear Mr. Kempff playing this piece, and I am always on a roller-coaster of emotion. Rest In Peace Herr Kempff. there's no one who can match your skill and passion on your chosen instrument.
Sublime doesn't cut it for a word to explain this mans brilliance. The greatest musical artist i have ever heard by daylight. We are all blessed to have access to such great art.
Es la gran diferencia entre un gran maestro del piano y la sarta de prodigios o talentos actuales que podrán tocar mejor, más rápido y con más precisión... Pero carecen de corazón y alma. Son como unos pinches robots que tocan perfecto pero vacíos por dentro.
HappyDuffmann. Kempff Is a legendary interpreterà of BEETHOVEN, but, believe me, "the Best Version" doesn't existe. There are a group of Himalayane summit, there are a group of oceans...
Ah, ce 1er mouvement ! Il est le seul qui ait compris comment le jouer ! He is the only one who knows how to play this first movement... Sad and whispered, murmured.
Я слушала много исполнителей, лучших, талантливых. Но вот зазвучала Лунная соната в исполнении г- на Вильгельма Кемпфа и я поняла, что я слышу моего Бетховена.
Wilhelm Kempff war der beste Interpret der Meisterwerke von Beethoven. Ich möchte gern die von Wilhelm Kempff gespielte Aufnahme, wo er „Apassionata“ klingt. Ihm gelingt es am besten, die Atmosphäre dieses Stückes zu übergeben. Ich mag Beethoven seit der Kindheit. Seine Musik ist die Musik der Kraft, des Kampfes ums Leben und um die Freiheit. Ich danke dem Inhaber dieses Videos für die Möglichkeit die volle Aufnahme dieser Sonate anzuschauen!
