Need help identifying Beethoven recording

[jonje]

I need help identifying the pianist and year for this recording of
Beethoven's Pathetique:

folk.uio.no/jonje/beethovn.mp3

Some clues:

Notice the fast tempo, this first movement is only just over six minutes
long.

The other tracks on the record were probably Les Adieux and Appassionata.

It might have been recorded in the 60s or 70s, and certainly not later
than the early 80s. It could be older.

It might be a Deutsche Grammophon recording.

Thanks,

Jon Jenssen

*Ahem* Hofrat, he/she wanted to know the pianist and the general date of this recording

Can't help with the recording info, but I enjoyed the performance - thanks for posting it. How did you come across it?

It's a cassette recording of an original recording. The cassette is only marked

Beethoven: Pathetique
Les Adieux
Appassionata

It might be Wilhelm Kempff - I have an old Deutsche Grammaphon recording on cassette of those sonatas but it includes the Pastorale and Moonlight.

From what I have heard of Kempff it doesn't sound like him. But can you please check if it matches anyway? There might be a slight pitch difference.

Unfortunately my old cassette player no longer works (haven't used it in years) so I'm afraid I can't help with that.

I found the original record.

The label is Deutsche Grammophon. The contents of the record are Pathetique, Les Adieux and Appassionata. And the pianist is Andor Foldes.

I assume this record isn't available on CD so please, either write to DG and tell them what you think about their oversight or give me some advice on how to transfer it to CD.

If you can connect the cassette audio outs to your computer sound card audio ins then with software that will record audio from your soundcard (there are many and are not expensive--there may be some freeware programs) you can create mp3's or wave files (the wave files will write to your CD) and write them to a CD (provided you have a writeable CD drive).
