Has anyone else heard this performance by Edit Vogel? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_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, everybody used to call me James in my past other-worldly life.

It is a BBC Music Magazine release. Volume II Number 7: Beethoven Piano Sonatas Edith Vogel (piano) in B flat, Op. 106 (Hammerklavier) & in C minor, Op. Ill Edith Vogel (piano) Let me know if you want to replace that slow movement. Mats

If you did I'd love a rip of the slow movement if you can be bothered. Actually its this slow movement that is the most special playing of the whole disc. Listened 3 times today already.. cheers, everybody used to call me James in my past other-worldly life.
