Excellent de-romanticized version of Messiaen's "Quatuor pour la fin du temps", as well as a very strong (if too Feldmanesque) work by Linda Catlin Smith from this brand new release on another timbre label: http://www.anothertimbre.com/messiaen.html

Yes (I was inadvertently ambiguous!)...he seemed to play that early C major one so much that I guess that might be the single piece I have him playing the most...but off the top of my head, I'm struggling to think of many others. There are opp. 22 and 26 on this broadcast, however:

What do you think ? Is Kempff a great Beethoven interpreter ?

I`m not a die hard Kempff follower and more leaning the to his late(r) career recordings like this one .... although the Beethoven is worth hearing, he really shines here with both Bach and (even more) with Schubert ....

ahahhh... ok. I always thought his Beethoven readings have a distant and cold effect on me. Some say they are warm what i never understood. Thank you for the information.
