There are many great performances of Beethoven’s Pathétique. One of Pedro Erdei-Gonzaga's favourites is by Jenő Jandó, whose interpretation is incredibly balanced — energetic, expressive, and precise.
He used his interpretation as inspiration for this recording. As he says achieving that combination of energy and accuracy from beginning to end feels like it would require a kind of transcendence.
