Carl Friedberg plays Beethoven Sonata No.27 in E Minor Op.90

A 1949 Kansas City broadcast performance of Carl Friedberg playing Beethoven's Sonata No.27 in E Minor Op.90. This extraordinary document demonstrates how fiery and impassioned the artist could be in concert even at a more advanced age. In his late 70s, the disciple of Clara Schumann and Brahms plays with a depth of tone and fiery passion that are almost startling, all the while sustaining beautifully sculpted melodic lines, voicing chords with incredible clarity, and playing with incredibly expressive timing while maintaining the pulse.
