The recordings I mentioned are those 'brave' artists, who took the plunge. Op.131 is as nearly as deep a plunge as you go into music. Playing it with its daring spirituality and architecture cannot be trifled with it. You have to take the risks and they have met many Beethoven tests .The groups I 'dismissed' just never got it. It is not something you can be close to getting. You have to be the music and not worry about making the airplane for the next tour.
