In Reply to: Giltburg on recording and filming Beethoven 30-31-32 posted by Mats Gunnars on April 26, 2021 at 18:23:36:
The Fazioli Concert Hall in Sacile, Italy. If you are wondering about that piano growl - my hunch is that this piano was hand selected for the hall and that the recording setup is first rate. Couple that with an extraordinary left hand of Giltburg and you get some wonderful low register sound.
His playing is really wonderful. Hands and arms move with the shape of the music. His fingers and hands tense and release to create a palette of sound.
As far as his Beethoven and how this was recorded - wow. Imagine knowing 9 of the sonatas and deciding that you want to record all 32, thereby learning the other 23. The recording is also done with one take of each movement to at least simulate something close to the dynamic of a live performance. From the liner notes it is clear that he has a deep and intimate knowledge of the music, its structure and form and the thematic lines within a sonata and amongst the sonatas. No small feat.
I really like what I am hearing on these performances and will get the box set when it comes out later this year. It will be interesting to revisit these sonatas with Giltburg later in his career when the pieces mature with him.
Enjoy the music.
