A great pianist who didn't get the fame she deserved...

[@vivienmerchant]

I agree, and thank you for your kind comment on the wonderful artist. Do be reassured, Annie Fischer was highly treasured by so many - including all of her peers, including Richter, Argerich, Solti and so many more! She was much loved by the public in the UK too.

Klare und zugleich lyrische Interpretation dieses perfekt komponierten Meisterwerks im rhythmischen und zugleich gut phrasierten Tempo mit perfekt artikulierten und zugleich anmutigen Töne des Klaviers. Echt unvergleichliche Pianistin!

In my opinion, this is not one of Beethoven's better compositions.

[@davidcarter3049]

For me, it’s one of his most interesting compositions. On every level he is revealing an exploration about what interests him about creating/music at the time. It’s a bit like John Cage’s 4’ 33”. I’m confident in saying it’s not the best composition ever written, but it is perhaps one of the most interesting

[@leolou6632]

The style of late Beethoven requires time to sink in before one can truly appreciate it. and IMO this is one of the best recordings of this sonata, along with Richter and Gilels' version.

@@leolou6632 For me, the summit of piano music is the 2nd half of the slow movement of sonata 32 played by Artur Schnabel.

[@henricusbajanensis]

Really? I don’t find… IMHO each movement is perfect in itself, and the whole is admiringly balanced. Well, I just love it!
