Query: Impressive Early Beethoven Performances

Perahia performs these three works beautifully. His technique and style are masterful, his tone and nuance are well crafted, and the recording engineers have done an excelent job of capturing his exciting performances. I prefer his interpretations to the drier, (almost too) scholarly pressings of Jon O'Connor.His performance of the 2nd sonanta (A Major) may be one of the two best overall performances I have ever heard either in recording or in live settings. (Which is very often in about the past 35 years.)
