Malcolm Bilson once gave a lecture-demonstration in which he said that of all the composers he played, Schubert gained most from being heard on an antique piano. According to Bilson, Schubert's phrases are designed for instruments whose notes die away more quickly than they do on the modern piano. Whatever the reason, Bilson, here playing on a colorful-sounding Graf fortepiano from 1835, gives extremely effective and convincing performances of both of these major Schubert sonatas, which gain in transparency from the early instrument without losing their emotional force. Very highly recommended. --Leslie Gerber
