Alfred Brendel Plays and Introduces Schubert’s Late Piano Works Vol. 5

Reviews

FonoForum 12/07: “His playing is controlled but not too cool, designed too cool, designed for fine vocal correspondences, almost contrapuntal almost contrapuntal, with a strong left hand and in the large as well as in the small of compelling clarity One can technically hear that Brendel was once a great Liszt player the late sonatas gain suggestive power without distance suggestive power without distance, in which only the essentials are focused the images are calm, one also looks from above at the pianist you are close to the pianist, even from above.”
