Great recordings of the Brahms 3rd Sonata

SDC Legendz Repertoire
1

I love this piece (played it in recital a few years back) but I find there are only about 5 recordings of it that I ever listen to. These are:

Gieseking
Annie Fischer
Freire (I have about 10 by him)
Sokolov (I have 4 or 5 by him too)
Rubinstein (2 recs, both lovely)

Plus, now Solomon is one of my favourites.

Are there any recs that you know of that are worth listening to? Or do I have it pretty much covered?

2

kissin and zimerman also play that.

:dong:

Genie’z iz ok, but pozz hiz perzonal bezt output in recent yearz

ma fav iz ztill Sokolov/Freire/Solomon

4

Thibaudet’s going to play it live pretty soon, never heard anything from him so maybe it will be interesting…?

I like Katchen, will have a look at Solomon, for I love his Beethoven.

5

Thibaudet’s playing is always a bit too cold and calculating to my taste.
I wouldn’t know about his Brahms

I think the Freire GP rec is his weakest one.

I’ll post the Annie Fischer and a better Freire Brahms Sonata for you.

Anti Siirala?

9

Katchen’s live performance, Annie Fischer, and Curzon for me. Kapell also played this in Carnegie (still searching for that elusive recording).
