Beethoven's Pathétique in a Classical Tuning

Carl Radford, Registered Piano Technician and Pianist, plays the second movement of Beethoven's Pathétique Sonata, but not in the Modern tuning as is usually heard today, rather in a Classical Well Tempered tuning, similar to how Beethoven himself may have heard it. (Best audio quality in 1080p with headphones.)
