Title: boring
Product review: Last night I was in my car and there was a recording of Beethoven's Sonata No. 11 on the radio. I didn't know who the pianist was and was struck by how unimaginative and dull the performance was. Having grown up listening to recordings of Arrau, Richter, Kempf, and Brendel in this repetoire I was bemused that such a dull performance as the one I was hearing would be broadcast nationally. Beethoven should never be uninteresting!!! It's such great music! Well, the pianist I was listening to turned out to be John O'Coner. I have heard O'Coner before and had the same reaction but listening blind only strengthens my opinion that his playing is pedestrian. Avoid this set. Get Arrau's or Brendel's instead!
