Jaspen Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Recommendation please for Beethoven's complete piano sonatas. Prefer SACD but not essential. Something a little left of field, would be nice. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Pollini is the best IMO but not sure if he managed the complete set yet. Usually complete recordings are a hit and miss except for Bernstein’s DG Mahler set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwig’s piano sonatas can take many forms. Pollini smashed the late sonatas but I like Gould’s weird performance better personally. Gulda is pretty jazzy and of course S Richter is a giant in this field. Bakhaus on vinyl is sweet too. I’ve heard other recordings so much that nowadays the recordings on period piano like the Conrad Graf used by the composer himself are my fave. Hopelessly out of tune though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a huge fan of the Forte Piano....they sound a bit like old out of tune pianos. I'm a great fan of C. Bechstein pianos, they just sing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwbasement Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Does anyone have this newly released version by Yo Yo Ma? Is this the best or should I look elsewhere? Jas, do you mean best version of the cello suites or is this best version of YYM recordings? This is YY third attempt on the suites, he is also going around the globe for 36 concerts, this could be his last recordings on the suites.As for the suites, all recordings are different interpretations, different people have different preferences, and depending on what you are after slow, fast, slower, faster, technical or articulated, historical (may not be good in sound quality), something that tells a story, feminine touch...etcI like all of them as@happy mentioned I have over 30 recordings and still counting.I would recommend Casals, Wispelwey and Starker as top 3 must have.Cheers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaspen Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Thank you @dwbasement . Casals, Wispelwey and Starker have probably recorded them a number of times. Could you perhaps single out particular sets/versions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
