I’ve had this SACD for several months & have heard it numerous times. The sound is certainly full bodied & realistic; the piano is set right in front of you & can overwhelm you if the volume is set high. The piano sound is very different from those that I have heard in other SACD or CDs; is it more realistic? I can’t answer that. It all depends on what is the ideal sound at a live concert. The important point is that I like the sound. The playing is very good. The only weakness is the slow movement of the appassionata. The capabilities of SACD is certainly revealed here so there is much more to hope for. I have already ordered Kodama’s other Beethoven SACD (her Moonlight, Pathetique & #4). I look forward to hearing them. I encourage her to record all the Beethoven’s sonatas in SACD! I would buy them all.
