Beethoven: 'Waldstein' Sonata no.21 András Schiff 2008, Tokyo 

I think you mean “romanticism,” not “romantism.” I’ve never _not_ heard it that way….are you complimenting Beethoven, or Schiff?? If the former, yes! I applaud it! If the latter, I say, “So do all of the major pianists who have played this piece.”

@@voraciousreader3341 Of course Beethoven, most importantly, if one has to pinpoint the moment of begging of romantic era. I believe personally it is that note

That’s a wonderful thought and out of all the sonatas that note is certainly special. I often start listening to the “Waldstein” with the very brief second movement. Third third is a marvel and achingly beautiful.

That note seemed to ring out in expectation taking one into the amazing third movement and the ultimate of brilliance ….

Very well put. That's a keen observation.

That's the climax of the piece IMO.

Aha!- the term "voicing", used in a different context than I'm used to - but I think it's a good use- I've just never actually heard the term used this particular way. I'm familiar with the *voicing of the hammers* - changing their hardness by changing the density of their felt weave, in order to change their attack hardness (I'm a retired piano tech). But in this case, you're referring to the soft/loud expressiveness of the performance, correct?

@@catkeys6911 I thought it was clear that OP was referring to the voicing choices in the performance, not about the piano or hammers specifically. That said, the piano sounded wonderful! Hats off to the tech who prepared it.

@@catkeys6911 from a different language, the voicing of the "music" is how you decide to highlight the various "phrases" in the music, bringing out some notes, or group of notes, compared to others... it can be from balancing left and right hand, to individual notes in the same hand... like doing octaves and deciding to bring the "pinky" out compared to the "thumb" instead of letting them be the same volume. Being able to "voice" is one of the things that makes the difference between someone trying to play the piano and playing it.

un tocco troppo veloce forse, per il mio gusto s'intende, almeno il primo movimento

And mine, I've been looking for a perfect recording for months and I think this is it

@@joelmacinnes2391 Check this video out. Legendary Japanese Pianist, Hayato Sumino AKA Cateen, performed Waldstein on 03/09/2021. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cKLl_brp4aY.html

A very good version but I still prefer Pletnev.

Sir, 30 and 31 exists

32 is the only right answer.

Schiff despises the audience, somehow.

Quisiera visitarlo😢😢 pero teatro colon esta demasiado lejos de mi pais😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

My favorites are Arrau (1977) and Pollini (1974).

FYI. I was so happy someone uploaded this clip. A stunning performance of Waldstein by legendary Japanese pianist, Hayato Sumino AKA Cateen on 03/09/2021. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cKLl_brp4aY.html

I have the same feeling about his first movement. I think of Papa Serkin or Kempf working hard on architecture / structural insights. I love Schiff so I will see what can learn from repeated listenings

The sonata is dedicated to the Count von Waldstein.
