Santa came early to Mmmmaestro's place the other and left:

Barenboim on Beethoven - The Complete Piano Sonatas Live from Berlin (2007)

http://www.amazon.com/Barenboim-Bee...mp;s=music&qid=1197186065&sr=1-1

Mmmmaestro is one happy chappie!

from what i have had a chance to watch the Masterclasses are excellent - but the concerts are awesome - beautifully photographed and the playing is excellent and inspirational.

a must for any Beethoven fan

Barenboim is a master. It have to be a pleasure watching his masterclasses.

On the TV recently I saw a brief extract of a masterclass he gave on Op31 No 1, as part of a longer documentary programme. Sounds like I might have to write to Santa myself smile
By the way, Mr B. got my vote in this recent thread .

DB never appeared on my radar as one of the great pianists - i think i always thought of him more as a conductor - but this seems like a special package - the last movement of the OP 111 in particular is sublime and captivating IMO
