A superb performance by a masterful artist, where sublime spirit and architectural beauty resonate together.
This is one of Kemp's most representative Beethoven recordings. Performed with Kempen leading the Berlin Philharmonic, it combines clarity with majestic scale.
Wilhelm Kempff and Paul van Kempen's "Emperor" is known for its graceful and powerful performance. Kempff's piano playing is intimate and poetic, yet the sound construction is unwavering, and each movement possesses a superb dialogue and balance. The Berlin Philharmonic under Kempen's baton is also powerful, and although this recording was made in the early 1950s, the sound is strikingly rich and clear. This is a historic record that embodies the tradition and spirituality of German music.
