WILHELM KEMPFF PLAYS BEETHOVEN
VAI DVD 4283, $24.95

Beethoven is the subject of this rare Kempff video from the rich archives of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s French network. The great “Hammerklavier” Sonata (Op. 106) is here given a truly magisterial performance in which the astonishing complexities of this great work are elucidated in the hands of a supreme Beethoven interpreter. The G Major Rondo, on the other hand, played with elegant simplicity, aptly demonstrates the adage that less is often considerably more.

LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN (1770-1827)
Rondo in G for Piano, Op. 51, No. 2 (8:42)
Sonata No. 29 in B-flat for Piano, Op. 106, "Hammerklavier"
I Allegro (8:41)
II Scherzo; Assai vivace (2:40)
III Adagio sostenuto; Appasionato e con molto sentimento (17:05)
IV Largo-Allegro risoluto (11:38)

WILHELM KEMPFF, piano
