Alfred Brendel

Which version of Beethoven’s Piano Sonata #18, 2nd mov. do you prefer?

By far the second one. Brendel was, in my opinion, the undisputed master of the Beethoven sonatas, and the 18th was no exception. Plus, I prefer the sound of the grand over the fortepiano in playing Beethoven anyway.
