Those 2 pieces aren't the best Beethoven - by a long shot.
Jerry Dubins even said so in a recent "Fanfare", altho he was subsequently shot down and flamed to a crisp for it [sho' know how that feels].
But, it's just not that great. Am I missing something? Is there something you can point out that I should have another listen to?
OTOH - I agree with your enthusiasm about Sudbin. I've got his little known Rach Son #1 CD - now that's a piece!
