#morninglistening to the largely forgotten #LvBeethoven Sonatas of #WalterGieseking on EMI which was left 11 sonatas short of completion when he suffered a stroke.

#morninglistening to a complete #Beethoven #StringQuartet Cycle that @ladolcevolta conjured from the vaults: a live one from the #QuatuorYsaÿe! A wonderful tribute to a great Quartet but not a rival to the best sets, tbh.

#morninglistening to the earlier Vox recording of the #LvBeethoven DiabelliVariations w/#AlfredBrendel and, although I don't (& certainly not reflexively) find his earlier stuff better, these are admittedly very good as is the SQ. None to grand, which suits the work.

#morninglistening to #FranzKonwitschny & the gewandhausorchester Leipzig playing #LvBeethoven 4 Fidelio overtures, Coriolan & Prometheus. Woof! We forget how charged Konwitschny's Beethoven is. Gruff, ripping playing from the Leipzigers under the GDR's GMD.

#morninglistening to @MoritzWinkelmann in the 2nd volume of his recordings of the complete #LvBeethoven PianoSonatas for @berlinclassicsmusic. I liked this *much* better than v.1, w/some really neat touches in these sonatas!

#morninglistening to some of #MaurizioPollini's middle/lateish #LvBeethoven to go with the coffee. Like water from a Dolomite brook. And who doesn't love the great-small op.90!?

#morninglistening to @leifoveandsnes' #LvBeethoven concertos w/the MCO, after having them v. highly recommended. Maybe not as revelatory as I had thus hoped they'd be on 1st listen, but certainly first rate, crisp accounts that I prefer over some more famous older sets.

#morninglistening to @pjarvi's #LvBeethoven Symphony No. 4 w/@dkambremen, part of one of the best cycles of the last 5 decades. Just to check back in on Ludwig, as one needs to, every so often.
