It is a beethoven sonata. Hint: It's the longest of them all.

No, it's not ashkenazy or kempff.

The 29th? I knew it was a later sonata, and I even listened to the 29th just to see, but it didn't remind me of the exerpt you provided.

Off to listen to it again...

[edit]Oh, and it is Brendel?[/edit]

Yep, it is the 29th sonata. Now try to find the movement :p

No, it's not brendel. I think the pianist is famous JUST for his recordings of the beethoven sonatas, so I'm not sure if many people will recognize him.

#16 is F. Liszt - Transcendental Etude no. 10 in F min

btw, I saw Evgeny Kissin play this live several years back -- it was like thunder resonating throughout the concert hall :)
