Grigory Sokolov plays Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 29, Op. 106 "Hammerklavier" (2013 | Video)

This will be the last thing I post until my big project goes up sometime within the next two weeks. It's a big one though so enjoy! The audio is slightly out of sync so I might at some point make a fixed version.
I. Allegro 0:10
II. Scherzo: Assai vivace 13:47
III.Adagio sostenuto 17:20
IV. Introduzione: Largo - Fuga: Allegro risoluto 38:36

Yes this is not a fantastic source unfortunately, if there was a better one it probably ran into copyright issues

41:32 First fugue of the fourth movement 6' 15 minutes. Much too slow compared with 4'52 minutes [144 Mälzel per crotched prescripted by Beethoven.
You should listen to Beveridge Webster, HJ Lim, Laetitia Hahn, Friedrich Gulda Video (1970), Stephan Beus for getting a real Beethoven experience.
Sokolow's movements with his arms are too awkward to reach a higher speed. The same in the first and second movement. And the 21 minutes drawling third movement is sleepy boring.

You can listen to his Chopin Etudes, especially the op.25 no.12 and there you will see how slow his "awkward arms" are... i think you realy don't know what you are talking about
