Dragonfly, thanks for posting Kissin. I've listened to him many times, and he never ceases to astonish me with his brilliance.

Then I've here another one for you:

Many pianists try here too hard for speed, resulting in a completely blurred bass line, especially in the second part with the octave jumps, but Kissin keeps a tight rhythm in the left hand.

Dragonfly, do you know the work of Witold Malcuzynski - 1914-1977? He was a Polish pianist, widely recognizd as one of the greatest of all Chopin interpreters. He studied with Paderewski -- he was Paderewski's last pupil; and Yehudi Menuhin arranged his 1942 Americn debut. He came to New York regularly in the 50's and 60's and I always went to his Carnegie Hall concerts. When I heard him play, I felt that this was the Chopin I had heard in my mind but had never before heard in a concert hall. He gave to Chopin both the composer's poetry and his passion, both his exquisite tenderness and his dazzling pyrotechnics.

Besides, he even looked Chopinesque!

You can hear several of his old recordings at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH788IaF_E

I've never heard him in concert, but his recording of Chopin's 2nd & 3rd Sonata has always been one of my favorites. It has indeed the right combination of poetry, passion and grandeur. I should digitize my old vinyl record:

or look for an existing cd version.

Not really youtube, but this site has the advantage of one single code for the complete composition (23 minutes).

You may have to digitize your LP, but before you do--the Third Sonata (but not the Second) is part of this 2 CD set

http://www.amazon.com/Malcuzynski-Artist-Profile-Chopin-Waltzes/dp/B000025F98/ref=sr_1_1/183-2927776-8169145?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1248920761&sr=1-1

alternate source:

http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/Drilldown?name_id1=2211&name_role1=1&name_id2=22968&name_role2=2&bcorder=21&comp_id=729

which lists the Sonata as being recorded in June 1961 in Paris. Is that the same or another performance from the one you have?

Neither Amazon nor Arkivmusic come up with a listing for a CD version of the Second Sonata, but Amazon shows a cassette version of your LP.

Thanks for the information! I've put the LP back in some big box in my attic, so I'll have to dig it up again (you should see my attic...) to see when and where it has been recorded. Perhaps one of these days...

The second movement of Schubert's great Sonata in A maj. D 959, with its quiet, sad theme and the dramatic, almost Lisztian middle section, played by Alfred Brendel:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TdnDEnJb0o

And here the fourth movement, a rondo with a singing theme as only Schubert could write (although Beethoven's rondo of his sonata op. 90 isn't bad either).

The videos are suddenly not showing up. Is anyone else having this problem?

Here it works fine. Might there accidentally some kind of authorization bit have been set, so that only the poster can see his own videos?

hasn't been showing for me either, past few times [since the 12th]... was surprised...
