Here is a real musical treat - one of the most recognisable and beloved pieces of music, played on Beethoven's very own piano.
As mentioned in the introduction, Beethoven received this piano in 1817 as a gift from its manufacturer, Thomas Broadwood of London, whom he met in Vienna in the summer of that year. Beethoven wanted to visit Britain in the later years of his life, but sadly he never made it due to his deteriorating health.
This performance is by the Austrian concert pianist Jörg Demus. It was a live recording of 1970 recital in Bonn, the town in Germany where Beethoven was born. The concert celebrated the 200th anniversary of Beethoven's birth.
The whole LP contains recordings of other Beethoven works on Beethoven's Graf piano. According to the uploader, it is not clear on the LP cover whether this piece is performed on the Graf piano or the Broadwood piano. However, I have a copy of Beethovens Klavier, which I bought as a souvenir on a visit to Beethoven's house in Bonn and features performances of the Op. 110 sonata and Op. 126 bagatelles on the Graf piano (also by Jörg Demus). I can say with absolute certainty that this performance is on the Broadwood piano.
Enjoy! :)
