Hello everyone, I just revisited this piece and I've decided to learn it seriously. Though it's a 'cliche' classical piece I think it's really wonderful. Who is your favourite interpreter? I really like Ivo Pogorelich's version, nice a slow; not rushed... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQTTFUtMSvQ
Currently working on...
Chopin - Fantasie Impromptu in C sharp minor Op.66
Mozart - Piano Sonata in E flat K.282
Liszt - Romance in E minor "O pourquoi donc" S.196

I like this pianist's version(please ignore the silly picture on Youtube): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gszYc5aUCQYI never realized how terrific this piece was until I heard that performance.

Hmmm...my favorite interpretation of Fur Elise is my own. Probably because I don't like to listen to recordings that much because I'm afraid I will make myself sick of it, or because I'm afraid I will hear a bad recording.

My favorite was Valentina's. Valentina Lisitsa's "Fur Elise" But, Pianoloverus, it sounds so much like Urgorski's that you posted! I love them both!!  --Andy

Pianoworld poster hv's wife, Sue Keller, has a version played on a Steingraeber. It's quite different from those posted above, I'm sure you'll never forget it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj4pd8c8UQY

Oh, yes! Of course! Pletnev! That's what I meant to say... *ahem*  I still love them both!
