Take the Brautigam series on BIS, excellent vivid play, stunning recordings. 4 sacd's are out now, have them all, more or less the first 16 sonatas, rest will follow.

-----------------------------------------------------------------I notice he is using a fortepiano rather than a modern grand. How would you describe the differences, if any, in the resulting sound?
(I'm not particularly interested in hearing them the way Beethoven heard them.)Jim
"(I'm not particularly interested in hearing them the way Beethoven heard them.)". That's fine Jim as Beethoven didn't get to hear most of them either!

Berlin, how would you compare the Brautigam to some other pianists? I only have the Angela Hewitt on SACD, and it was a bit of a sleeper. I also have full boxed sets by Schnabel, Gilels, and Ashkenazy along with every Richter sonata I could get my hands on. But then those are RBCD, and the sound is not the best. In fact with Schnabel the sound is positively awful (1930's) but it is still my favourite version.
