Aya Nagatomi - Beethoven Pathetique mvt. 1

My favourite interpretation of this piece, even better than Claudio Arrau's. I honestly felt the goosebumps. Her fingers are very light on the keys on the fast notes, I especially liked her pause at 1:56. At around 0:49, the contrast between the "question" "answer" part is really good. I like it from1:14 onwards. The contrast, I liked it alot. And the notes were really soft, clean, each note was played with emotion.

From 4:30 onwards.
The transition from 6:15 to 6:30


I can see that she has really analysed the music, I should do so next time.
