Reading this,

inspired me to look for a great - or at least intelligible - recording of the Hammerklavier sonata...
and I've made a great discovery in the depths of my hard drive.
Has anyone else heard this performance by Edit Vogel?

Quite extraordinary. And completely devoid of 'great pianism'.
I am not sure if it is commercially available - probably a BBC studio recording. Annoyingly my rip has a cd stutter in the middle of the slow movement - so it must have been on CD at some point...

cheers,
