Wilhelm Kempff is amazing.

His tempest sonata rendition is also amazing.

+ I also like Yundi Li, Evgeny Kissin, Nikolai Lugansky (most, not all) etc.

Im about to do my AmusA exam and this is one of the pieces Im supposed to play. Ashkenazy is so inspiring!

^ Why, thank you

For anyone who isn't interested in listening to the whole 22 mins, please listen from 4:10 to 4:36 (preferably from 3:27 to 5:00 for the buildup + "diedown") . You can really feel the sadness within that excerpt (either that, or you may visualise a drunk guy on a starry night)

nerdasdasd, why not upload some of your own recommendations?

I really love how the Berceuse seemingly increases exponentially in difficulty, but still manages to maintain a mellowness to it. One of the happinest pieces I've ever heard! (also amazing how the composer of this piece also composed one of the most grim-sounding pieces, the "Funeral March" movement of his second sonata).

Good luck with the piece, you must be have amazing skills to be able to tackle this massive gorilla (very cute gorilla though) :O . I love Ashkenazy's renditions, but I prefer Lisitsa's one for this piece (she plays too fast with several other pieces though). Idk, for me, the melody in his performance seems to be rather restrained but it's not bad since we can really hear some of hidden ornamentation within the piece

Wilhelm Kempff is amazing.

I definitely agree with you. He has captured, the emotion and essence of the piece perfectly.

This is an OST for an anime I love, it's an ensemble with piano included.

Might be a bit irrelevant with a lot of classical pieces being linked, but whatever
