Wow absolutely stunning performance !!! The tempo, the dynamics, the colors, the clarity…. Im in awe. Nuance is in the 3rd mvt, this is a storm, a display of technique, a flex … he’s playing it how it should be

This is a stupendous achievement that impresses professoonal pianists even more than the public. To play it this fast and this accurately puts him at the top 0.1% of pianists. What is even more amazing is that he was so totally relaxed ('didn't break a sweat'). Superhuman ability that makes Greek gods jealous.

What can anyone say but 'Bravo!' His performances is like looking at a battlefield from the point of view of an aircraft, seeing how all the pieces fit together. Every other performance of this reminds me of Laocoon struggling with the serpents. Sometimes the big picture is the best.

Amazing to hear the Hammklavier 4th movement fugue performed as Beethoven indicated it. Yes, it is true, as many commenters have stated already, that Goodyear's performance here is not especially rife with dynamic nuance. But I am glad to hear it in this manner for a change and kudos to Stewart Goodyear for giving this arguably very-true-to-the-score performance. Indeed, it's great that somebody has done it in this manner for all of us to hear!

One thing Mr. Goodyear is scrupulous about is playing the sonatas at the tempo marked by Beethoven in the score, for better or worse. Beethoven's tempos are extremely fast, which is why this performance seems to lack nuance. But, by marking the tempo so fast, did Beethoven want it to be played with nuance? If he marked it this fast, is this how he would have played it? Who knows, but it's a reasonable question.

A genius like beethoven knew what he did and how everything he wrote would sound on a performance, i believe that is very important while performing to respect every composer's detail, they gave their big minds and their lives to music, thats why classical music will never die, it has a reason that makes it worth more than any kind of music

I don't think I've heard the fugue played at this tempo before but in my view it takes away something from the overall musicality. This is without doubt incredible in terms of technique but I guess this is a fairly good example of why amazing virtuosity is not always everything with such challenging works
@albertwong4516

A year old pompous remark is still a pompous remark. The musicality is through the roof and i would argue he captures Beethoven's essence better than 90% of the recordings you are refering to. Sadly recordings today have gradually retarded tempos and markings to the point where the original fervour is lost. Beethoven was a flashy virtuoso. He loved showing off as part of his charm. His fast passages were blistering and prodigious. I know Gould shares my point of view that Beethoven is played too slow today this is one of the best renditions i have heard, and leads me to feel that this is how Ludwig would have performed it. Hats off sir 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@ prrothed: You are exactly in the central problem and your comment is very interesting; But don't forget that Stewart Goodyear is always faster than Beethoven's Tempo (160-168 vs 144). In fact, like Stephen Beus (who copied who ? because they do the same error at 1'56 but Beus seems better) it seems impossible to take such a tempo without an evident lack of power (may be Richter could do it); And Yes, Beethoven WANTED these nuances; when he writes 28 SF in 2 lines, it's not by chance; If you want the good tempo and a fantastic power, who can, except Richter ? That said, the technical capacity of LvB to play it at 144 is an other problem, but I hope so !!!

I hate to say it but, despite some hefty dynamics this rendition is like a giant run-on sentence lacking true drama, incite and deep thought to sound and phrasing. All the same dynamics in all of the running fingerwork with little phrasing to the myriad 16ths. Still, it is a very admirable and secure performance-just needs more depth and wisdom.

Where are the sforzandi that Beethoven indicated in his score? Goodyear ignores them completely and seems to have no feeling for the fact that this fugue is actually a set of variations, each with its own character. Goodyear makes no distinction between them, but rather flattens the entire movement into a highway where there is no speed limit. I find little to admire in this performance.
