IRF, how about you send it to me instead? It'd be cheaper.  Sounds wonderful... Hey! It was my idea! I'll pay for postage. |

A recording that's really changed my life:
[ Do say why, opilec! That's the second rash of Paul B-S posts today. What's the deal? |

If anyone knows ... how do PBS's performances of these works compare to the Paul Komen recordings on Globe that have been highly praised elsewhere on these boards?

Very different indeed. Komen is more of a 'HIPster in the details' as I would put it - concerned about the finest nuances of articulation and the like, often in ways that break considerably with mainstream 20th century performance practice. Badura-Skoda is much more a pianist of the Viennese 'old school' who in certain ways transfers his interpretations developed on a modern instrument onto a period piano. To be honest, I'm not totally overawed by either, though probably prefer Komen's. Also worth hearing is Immerseel's disc of Beethoven (rather over-resonant acoustic for my tastes, though), those recordings that exist by Bilson (especially good), and above all Demus's recording of Op. 110 and the Op. 126 Bagatelles. I think Badura-Skoda's is the only complete set of Beethoven by a single pianist (is it complete, though? Haven't heard them all); Komen's wasn't completed to the best of my knowledge. I heard vague talk of Staier recording the complete Beethoven sonatas, which I'd very much like to hear. There is a set on Claves with Bilson and a group of his students doing them all; I've heard some but not all of these, think they are rather mixed. There's room for many more recordings and interpretations of Beethoven on period instruments. There is an LP-only recording of Peter Serkin playing the Hammerklavier on a Graf, which someone at r.m.c.r. made me a copy of - very interesting, takes Beethoven's metronome marking for the first movement (well, at least at the outset), but which somehow didn't cut the mustard when I heard it. |

Brilliant. Thanks, Ian! I'll do some digging & see what's available here. I heard vague talk of Staier recording the complete Beethoven sonatas, which I'd very much like to hear.
Me too! |

Ian, as far as I know there are no complete surveys currently in the catalogue. B-S did indeed record them all. I think Ollie has them. He was going to assist me in completing my set but seems not to have got round to it quite yet.  There was also Malcolm Binns's set on LPs, the last five sonatas from which are now on an Explore double CD set. Both Komen and Brautigam are engaged on complete sets, (Brautgam's on SACD). The Claves set, with Bilson much in evidence, went out of the catalogue some time ago. Then, of course, there are a fair few recorded by Tan (maybe interesting as a supplement). Peter Serkin recorded the lates on a Graf(?), too. |

The Serkin last three are on CD, but Op. 106 has never been released on CD to date.

Currently spinning is Beethoven Op. 2 sonatas, Badura Skoda, (fortepiano by Johan Schantz, Vienna, ca. 1790). Thanks Ollie.
