Schubert: The Complete Impromptus
Franz Schubert
,
Alfred Brendel
Philips, 1997
little music
Franz Schubert's piano impromptus are not big music. Not only are the pieces relatively brief, but the absence of instruments other than solo piano and the evasion of bombast by Schubert altogether make these compositions small music. But small is beautiful. ...

Rubinstein in the indian summer of his career
Following their release of Artur Rubinstein's Grieg, Chopin and Saint-Saëns concertos, Deutsche Grammophon issues another fascinating programme about the great pianist, recorded two years earlier, in August 1973, at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. Rubinstein can be ...
Schubert: Impromptus For Piano
Franz Schubert

Murray Perahia
Sony, 1990
OMFG!
Perahia's recording of Schubert is amazing! Every track on this CD is moving, insightful, and fun. Though the only other renditions I've heard are Horowitz's 899 #4 and Brendel's 899 #3, I liked Perahia's versions more. The beginning of Perahia's 899#4 is like a nice ...

RCA, 1992
My favorite CD!
Van Cliburn is a master pianist, and this CD is pure listening enjoyment. I generally am not into clasical music, but this is fun. His working fingers convince me that they are not working. They are dancing, and they are having great fun. WONDERFUL!!

We have given this CD set to several friends after we liked ours so much. You can just leave these wonderful nocturnes playing for hours and not feel like you are listening again and again. It is WONDERFUL MUSIC that lasts.

Days and Evenings with Schubert and Uchida

Horowitz: The Last Recording
Haydn, Liszt, Wagner Chopin
,
Vladimir Horowitz
Sony, 1990
The Last and One of the Very Best
It is truly amazing to think that Horowitz was 86 years old when he made this recording. The virtuoso passages of Chopin that require fingertip pyrotechnics are played with flawless precision and a sense of nuance and shading that is exquisite. At his very best, ...
Schubert: Sonata in B flat; Allegretto in C minor; Impormptu in A flat major
Franz Schubert
,
Richard Goode
Nonesuch, 1992
Extraordinary Performance
Goode is at his best in this extraordinary performance of this extraordinary sonata -- written shortly before Schubert's death. The andante -- with its rumbling, ominous, resonant and (above all) beautiful bass -- is heartbreaking. Goode plays with an understanding of ...
