Ludwig van Beethoven , Beethoven, Alfred Brendel - Piano Sonatas Op10 Nos 1 2 3

Review by Badi Yee

Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas Op. 10 Nos. 1-3: Alfred Brendel Nails It (But Not Without Soul) Alright, let’s talk about this gem of an album—Piano Sonatas Op. 10 Nos. 1-3 by Ludwig van Beethoven, performed by Alfred Brendel. Released in 1996 under Philips Digital Classics, it’s one of those records that doesn’t just sit there; it grabs you by the ears and says, “Listen up!” The genre? Classical, obviously, but calling it "classical" feels almost too stiff for how alive this music feels when Brendel gets his hands on it. Now, I’m not gonna lie—this isn’t background music to sip tea to. This is the kind of stuff that makes your brain go, “Whoa,” while your heart skips a beat or two. Two tracks stuck with me like gum on a shoe: Sonata No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 10 No. 1 and Largo e Mesto. Let me tell ya why. First off, the Sonata No. 5. Oh man, the opening Allegro Molto E Con Brio hits you right away—it’s punchy, restless, and kinda chaotic, but in a good way. You can feel Beethoven wrestling with something big here, maybe his own demons, and Brendel plays it like he knows exactly what’s at stake. There’s no fussiness, no overthinking—it’s raw energy translated into sound. When the Prestissimo kicks in at the end, my dog actually looked up from his nap, which is saying something because he usually sleeps through everything. That final movement? Pure adrenaline. Then there’s Largo e Mesto. If the fifth sonata is a storm, this one’s the calm after—but not the peaceful kind. It’s more like the eerie silence where you’re waiting for something bad to happen. Brendel slows things down so much that every note feels heavy, like they’re dripping with sadness. Listening to this track late at night made me want to call my mom just to hear her voice, y’know? It’s haunting, beautiful, and honestly, a little hard to take sometimes. But that’s Beethoven for you—he doesn’t let you off easy. What strikes me most about Brendel’s performance is how human it feels. Some pianists make Beethoven sound untouchable, like some marble statue carved out of genius. But Brendel? He reminds you that Beethoven wasn’t just a composer—he was a dude who got angry, frustrated, and hopeful, all rolled into one. And yeah, sure, the recording quality is crisp as hell, but it never loses that emotional grit. Here’s the weird thing though—I’ve listened to this album at least ten times now, and each time, I notice something new. Like, did you catch how Brendel lingers ever-so-slightly on certain notes in the Rondo? Or how the Menuetto has this playful bounce that almost tricks you into thinking everything’s fine? It’s these tiny details that keep pulling me back. So, would I recommend this album? Hell yes. But don’t expect it to be easy listening. These sonatas demand your attention, and if you give it to them, they’ll reward you with moments that stick around long after the last note fades. Oh, and here’s a random thought: If Beethoven were alive today, I bet he’d hate social media. Can you imagine him trying to deal with Twitter trolls? Dude wrote symphonies while going deaf—he wouldn’t have time for that nonsense.

German composer and pianist, born in 1770 (baptized 17 December 1770) in Bonn, Germany and died 26 March 1827 in Vienna, Austria. A crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in classical music. Beethoven led Viennese Classicism to its highest development and paved the way for Romantic music. Beethoven was the eldest son of a singer in the Kapelle of the Archbishop-Elector of Cologne and grandson of the Archbishop's Kapellmeister. He moved in 1792 to Vienna, where he had some lessons from Haydn and others, quickly establishing himself as a remarkable keyboard-player and original composer. By 1815 increasing deafness made public performance impossible and accentuated existing eccentricities of character, patiently tolerated by a series of rich patrons and his royal pupil the Archduke Rudolph. Beethoven did much to enlarge the possibilities of music and widen the horizons of later generations of composers. To his contemporaries he was sometimes a controversial figure, making heavy demands on listeners both by the length and by the complexity of his writing, as he explored new fields of music.
