Just to say something non provocative, I always found the piano sonatas (with only a couple of exceptions (movements only!)) extremely boring and I mean extremely boring. I find a lot of the piano concertos boring too. I haven't been listening to the symphonies for decades. Recently, I had the pleasure of listening to the Requiem performed by Herreweghe. It's not because he's a Belgian too, but this is the best version by far I ever heard. It was fantastic.
