When he is at his best, he seldom looks at the keyboard as if he is possessed by the spirit of the composer. I listened to 21 recitals he held in Tokyo, Japan, in one of which he was at his best of playing this sonata in 1976. I can never forget that. Thank you for uploading.

Kempff was not among those proclaimed beauty´s lover. He was beauty´s son. He never allows passion above humility. And there lies his greatness. Sublime!

Я смирения не вижу. Ум, гениальность, с богами разговаривает напрямую. Интересно, о чём? Страсти кипят, но хватает ума и силы и сдержанности.

Many years ago I had the privilege of attending a recital by Kempff in London's Royal Festival Hall - probably back in the 1970s. The musoc was Beethoven and I have an indellible memory of Kempff leaning back and gazing into the distance, as though communing with the spirit of Beethoven as he played,

I, too, listened to his playing Tempest in Tokyo in 1976, when he was at his best. I can never forget his performance then. It was like a revelation of spirit of music itself and also that of Beethoven. He left me an eternal carved seal which has continued to enlighten my life and spirit. He was an artist in a true sense of the word.

Die beste Interpretation, die ich je gehört habe. Obwohl ich von Kindheit an einen anderen hervorragenden Interpretator von Beethoven kenne -- Emil Gilels. Kempff ist großartig, vielleicht steht er auch zeitlich noch dem Komponisten nah.

Ich stimme euch völlig zu. Wilhelm Kempff ist der beste Interpret von Beethoven. Sein Spiel ist einerseits beherrscht und anderseits voller Leidenschaft. Ihm gelang es die Laune des größten Komponisten zu finden. Leider werden wir nie genau wissen, was Beethoven mit seinen Meisterwerken sagen wollte, aber was die Aufführungen von W. Kempff anbetrifft sind sie sozusagen die Wörter des Gottes. Danke dem Inhaber für die Möglichkeit dieses schöne Video anzusehen!

There was Beethoven, then Czerny, then Listz, then Tausig, then Barth, and then Kempff. What is that? 6th generation Beethoven? If anyone has the call and right to play this music, it is Kempff! Few, if any, have ever done it as well. He set high standards that few if any could follow. Indeed we sit in the presence of greatness, of genius, of unspeakable beauty! Blessed are we that can hear this!

My favorite Tempest interpretation- tough choice, Gould brought a surprising amount of smooth richness and just an ever-so-slightly slower tempo to the sonata in his later recordings of it (which, I’m aware, sounds hard to believe given his trademark dry, crisp, and frequently speedy style of play) Even if it contrasts a bit with the thematic motif of a tempestuous storm, does make for quite the beautiful sound. Barenboim’s beautiful touch, rubato, voicing and articulation add so much thematically to the 1st and 2nd movements, but I have to hand it to Kempff for having my favorite overall. He always has such a remarkable, almost-metronomic sense of rhythm and tempo, which, combined with the particularly excellent phrasing he brought to the piece, makes for an absolutely outstanding interpretation. Also worth a mention, his No. 14 (Moonlight) Movement III is leaps and bounds ahead of any other recording I’ve ever heard of that movement, if anyone reading this cares to listen to it 🙃

Beethoven nicht etwa im Stil einer perfekten Übung seines Schülers Czerny (wie sie teilweise sogar auch ein Friedrich Gulda demonstriert), sondern als hoch empfindsame poetische Nacherzählung des rätselhaften Shakespear´schen Märchenschauspiels...

yes indead it's hard to understand. Because I understand both German and French, here the non litteral translation "I am a man who is exercising with any detail (of this music), but unfortunately after having analysed I cannot reiterate the way I understand how to play the piece... " The problem is that Wilhelm Kempff thinks German and translate his toughts by translating the german words out of the context. Anyway, Wilhelm Kempff is a brilliant pianist and a fantastic composer! Listen to "Menuett g-moll aus der Suite de pieces" this is composed by Georg Friedrich Händel and Wilhelm Kempf left a really really fantastic transcription of this wonderfull piece.

@@danielvanlaethem6748 I believe he also says that when he plays, he feels the emotion as if it's the first time. And that i find really spectacular to watch here! Looks like we can literally see it on his face... as if 13 years after that horrible war, he were to offer his heart and soul with this piece of a german composer to reconnect to his french audience.

It's an interesting insight into an inadvertent aspect that made him great. I believe he says "I am a man of attacking a part, [but] afterwards I cannot [am unable to] repeat the part. That is the difficulty for me today [to this day]. In the evening you get to practice a couple of minutes in your room [he says "rôme", probably an attempted adaptation of the German word "Raum', i.e., room, to the French language, which doesn't exist; he probably means chambre], and then I go out [on stage] and really feel like it's the first time." It is unclear from the snippet whether he refers to playing on a different stage and piano every night or whether he refers to a general characteristic of his playing, i.e., a technical inability to repeat himself twice in exactly the same way. My sense, and my wish, is for the latter. If you are unable to repeat yourself with precision, you could be chaotic, but you most certainly cannot be boring.
