Moonlight Sonata Mvt 3

[Eppie]

I don't know how many Beethoven aficionados there are here at BWHacks, but I have a question. I recently stumbled upon a recording of Moonlight Sonata Mvt 3, and I cannot determine who the pianist playing it is. I was hoping someone could take a listen and perhaps recognize it as Kempff, Horowitz, Perahia, Barenboim or maybe another. Thanks for the help. The file is rar'ed because the forum wouldn't let be attach it before (it was too big).

For those of you who haven't listened to this piece, it is truly a masterpiece. Even if you don't like classical music, it is still very intense and worth a listen. (It's not some slow, squeaky violin crap either - it's all piano)

EDIT: Goddamn thing wouldn't attach still. Something about an invalid security token. Here is the link: MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

Good stuff, though I definitely don't have the ear in classical music yet to be able to tell who's playing.

I usually listen to Kempff's interpretation - I think it is the best. I have a feeling this is Horowitz, it sounds pretty light, which is my main complaint against his version on Youtube. I can tell this is not Kempff (I think) by the fact that there is considerably less trill on a couple notes in this interpretation than in the Youtube video.

This song definitely brings out a lot of emotion, but I as well can't help you with who is playing it.

It contrasts well with the first two movements - Sad, Happy, Intense. I think whoever played this version is a very talented pianist - I just want to know which one.
