I well remember a concert at York University in 1971-2 in which Roger Woodward gave us the Hammerklavier along with Scriabin and Takemitsu with different colour lighting for each composer.

Edith Vogel's recording on a years-old BBC MM disc is very well worth seeking out.

My original copy suffered 'bronzing' and would not play well. Fortunately, I found a copy in a charity shop for £1.00, and that played perfectly. Just in case, I have backed it up.

Try Emil Gilels

I have.
I do love the slow movement,it sounds to me like a sort of pain or despair in musical form.
But there is something else in it that I'm not quite grasping,which I can't put into words.
Not sure what I'm trying to say,maybe I'm talking nonsense.
Gilels is sublime BTW
