Thanks for that. Fleisher/Szell is hard to find in stereo on Epic label.

I think I have Michelangeli somewhere.

I have this recording in LP format. The photo of Kempff on the cover always made me think that he was hung over or even drunk. Great recording nonetheless.

I think he looks detached but he could be smiling.

She playing just a little too fast but she's only 4..lol
By the time she's 6 she'll capture the emotion of the piece much better I'm certain. She is quite extraordinary!

The Universum. If you don’t like this as well you don’t like the speaker, if you like this then with the earlier one either record sonic or speaker placement is what you are reacting to.

More emperor

 

[morricab]

More emperor

Are any of these videos with the unusual DIY speakers, or are they all with Universums?

Universums. They are not in their usual place and moved to the side but I prefer listening with them as I can better hear into the performance even at the loss of some stage integration and midbass depth

The owner prefers the other speakers?

No he is designing them with a friend, you had seen similar Lowther speakers there and now here they opened the baffle in the middle

 

[hopkins]

Hard to tell from videos, but the system seems off to me, as if parts of the frequency range were missing.

All these Emperors have put me to listening to Beethoven Piano Music.
Here is Beethoven's 4th Piano Concerto II & III from Glen Gould with Leonard Bernstein and the NY Philharmonic.

II. Andante Con Moto
III. Rondo: Vivace

1961 Columbia MS 6262
2012 Impex Records IMP 6011

I really like this performance. See the coverage in the bottom link for some background.
Another good one is Pollini with Bohm on DG.
