Do you like it? The sound could be better, but Trifonov certainly plays it well.

 

[Bachtoven]

I received this set today and listened to No.6. Wow, what an intense and well-played performance! The sound is amazingly good too in this SACD/DSD remastered version. My only complaint might be that No. 9 is split over 2 discs--at 79 minutes it would fit on one disc today--perhaps not when this version was issued.

Apparently said to be bored by Beethoven's piano writing !

Yes! And very much agree on sound quality which was a disappointment. But the playing was excellent...i prefer it to my initial reaction of Trifinov's Listz which i also listened to today. Though excellent, I think i prefer Richter's version of Liszt.

Give Trifonov's Liszt more time--his subtleties are quite astonishing. Yes, both Richter and Berman plow through those Etudes with greater ferocity at times, but I just love the little details that Trifonov brings out.

Not the one I have! It's a live recital on Praga...quite horrid sound, actually.

 

[Bachtoven]

No.9 today. Another powerful and amazingly well recorded performance.

 

[Bachtoven]

I can't say that I'll walk around humming tunes from either piece, but the virtuosity demanded from everyone and the visceral energy are quite appealing, Excellent, immediate sound.

 

[Bachtoven]

Absolutely stunning playing and sound.
