One of the smartest things that I did in the last couple of years, was buy a set of Audioengine A2+ Premium Powered Desktop Speakers, even though I couldn’t afford them.
I’m sure glad that I made that leap though.
sorry i’ll listen later when i have more time but it sounds like a very boring beethoven rendition. if you want to get to beethoven check out his students recordings. beethoven begot CZERNY (1791-1857) who begot Leschetizky, who begot Artur Schnabel (1882-1951), who begot Leonard Shure, who begot Stephan Mecurio and my beloved early left this world friend Philip Johnson. thats only six people that touched him that we can know today. check out beyond beethoven.
