Free Music Notes for Beethoven: Complete Piano Sonatas

Free Music Review: Lipkin is much more reliable
Hit: 3 Stars

Brendel plays as though the period movement never existed. He plays like he played in the 1960s, insisting that Beethoven MUST have a slow movement in each and every sonata. Take opus 10 #2 in F, specifically the Allegretto movement. Brendel crucufies this movement by playing it dead slowly. Yet Beethoven clearly had in mind a spritely dance-style movement -- otherwise, why mark it "Allegretto"? But Brendel, self-indulgently, knows better than Beethoven. My own current favorite for the sonatas as a whole is Seymour Lipkin, who at least is able to differentiate between tempi. Kovacevich is also very good. Brendel certainly brings great focus to the music, but sadly he is misguided and, one has to say, blissfully(?) ignorant.
