I very much like the recording of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata that is on this website. Can you please tell me what recording it is?
I am thrilled to have found my favorite Ludwig van Beethoven piece, “Moonlight Sonata” played so completely and beautifully as it should. I wish to thank-you for making it available for me to enjoy.
Thanks Diane. I recorded this version of Moonlight Sonata more than 2 years ago and will probably add another version on the short term.
All the best,
Jorgos
This is one of the most hauntingly beautiful pieces of music I have had the fortune of rediscovering, only now being able to fully comprehend the way it seems to take you away to a place that is amazing and tragic sumultaniously.
Do you have the 3rd movement available?
i really enjoyed listening to Moonlight.It makes me think of something like sadness or remind me think of my whole life.
@ James: Not yet but will be included. Thanks for the suggestion.
May I ask what kind of piano do you play on? I am just beginning to look – have never bought my own and always used my grandma’s grand piano (a George Steck).
Listening to this piece of music make you feel you have been taken to another world of fantasy and honesty.It reminds me of my whole life,and when I hear it I feel relaxed.It is absolutely fasinating and amazing.
Hi Jennifer, the sound you hear is from a Steinway grand piano
… It’s my favourite grand piano although I’m also in love with the sound and expression of Bosendorfer and Bluthner grand pianos. There are a lot of nice pianos out there, like Baldwin and Schimmel
This was absolutely beautiful. Moonlight Sonata is my favorite of Beethoven’s works, and it is refreshing to hear such a beautiful piece.
I really actually like this piece of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata it’s my favorite. It’s so inspirational to hear so amazing,what a remarkable piece.
the fifth bar in four four time is simply exquisite, i had small orgasms listning to this song here comes another oneeeeeeeeeeee! this is for you Todd! partners for eternity!
it makes me think about everything in my life
i love how classical music always takes my to another world and allows me dream and imagine
it makes me think about everything in my lif
I’m “Mexicano”, i think that this song is a great composition, it’s my favorite, good for beethoven. sean felices.
I felt great when i heard this for the first time..
I fell in love with this piece the first time I listened to it. I am a beginning piano player (but can read music) and this is on my list of pieces to learn. any suggestions on how to teach myself how to play this piece? RJ
me fascina el piano, no me es posible aprender a tocarlo debido a que no cuento con los medios, pero esta pieza contagia el sentimiento que el compositor plasmo en cada nota tan penetrante, te envuelve en una noche tranquila e iluminada por la delicada luz de una luna llena. Es algo maravilloso.
As we lived last friday (23rd january) the drama with the slaughter of 2 babies (8 & 9 months) together with a nurse (55) in a day care centre in Dendermonde by a psychopate and as parents of our selves of 4 children one of which, the smallest, is only 7 months, I remembered this beautiful sonata which makes me think about life… This masterpiece gives me hope and I truly wish the parents of the lost angels to find peace and tranquility in their ordeal some day in their continuing lives…

Sencillamente expuisita y definitivamente romantica
Please listen to the third movement of the 9th symphony.It seems that all of Beethovens works speak not in words but in the deepest emotions in the soul.
The most beautiful yet tragic piece. He was a genius ahead of his time. This song holds so much emotion in it like all of his other songs. But this one has something unusually unique about.
i like the sound of piano its so romantic
translation of Mery’s post:
It(He,She) fascinates the piano, me it is not possible to learn to touch it due to the fact that I do not possess(do not rely on) the means, but this piece infects the feeling that the composer I form in every so penetrating note, wraps you during a night calm and illuminated by the delicate light of a full moon. It is something wonderful.
I have to say on a personal note that this sonata deeply overwhelms my spirit with a great sorrow and joy at the same time. This beautiful masterpiece is a truly genius work of art. It fills the soul with in a way that is near impossible to describe. It is as if a thousand Angels take a time off from heaven to come down and sing it to me each time I play it.
I’m twelve years old and this masterful piece has sparked a curiosity for music (especially piano music) inside of me. I’ve learned how to read music and am currently teaching myself to play piano.
Just so that you don’t get confused, I wrote everything starting from “I have to say on a personal note…” and continuing onward. I didn’t want you to think that what I stated was a continuation of the translation of Mery’s post.
Wow, I have always loved this piece but this is the most beautiful I have ever heard it played. This pianist really caught the haunting beauty and depth that I feel personifies much of Beethoven’s works. Is this available to buy anywhere?
It is never too early or too late to learn the piano. Through my whole life i always had the yearning to learn the piano. Finally at 38 years old i took lessons. My favorite was fur elise…but now i believe it is Moonlight Sonata. It makes my heart slow down until i feel like i am in a dream.
I really love this piece.
This is one of the most beautifully and skillfully played renditions of the Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor, Op. 27, No. 2, by Ludwig van Beethoven that I have ever heard. It brings tears of both joy and sadness to my eyes simultaneously. Thank you so much for sharing this with us Jorgos.
wow diz waz awesome!!!!!!
Wow! He is amazing for a blind man. I never heard anything like it.
ENTONAR EL PIANO ES UNA DE LAS COSA MAS LINDAS QUE PODIDO APRENDER EN ESTE MUNDO, ESTA MELODIA ES MUY SENTIMENTAL ES MUY BUENA…………
inspiration for the ears!!!!
to kelly, i think beethoven wasn’t blind.. he was deaf… he lost his hearing i think during the peak of his career. but he still managed to compose and play with the piano. a real genius isn’t he?
to kelly, i thought you were pertaining to beethoven, were you? anyway, moonlight sonata-great music… more than words can say.
i really love “moonlinght sonata” its breathtaking!! classical music is not my first choice of music but this has got to be my favorite in fact im going to walk down the asile to “moonlight sonata” creepy but so cool!! XoXo E XoXo
well-played! This is brilliant and nuanced, and it’s the almost best time I’ve ever heard this. ( I was wondering through the halls of my school, and began to follow the distant sound of music. After being lured to a far room around many twists and turns, there sat a thin bespectacled boy, playing this with all his heart.) the only reason this is not the best is because I wasn’t wandering, following the threads of music down labyrinthine halls.
Dear commenters,
Please stop raping me.

ps. I loved the recording, very melancholy, yet halcyon, it moved me.
g sharp sounds a little flat, not a criticism of the player! But flatter than I am used to!
