CD Reviews

Fantastic!
Santiago Barcon | Mexico city | 08/30/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Alfred Brendel at his best in 80's recording as part of the 100 double CD collection of Great Pianist of the 20th centuryThe program is played flawlessly and with heart. The Schuber D. 899 is a perfect example.The playing is particularly touching in the Mozart Fantasia. I had the pleasure to listen recently, May 2000, Mr. Brendel perform with Mozart piano concerto 22. The recordings here make justice to his playing.Highly recommended."

"Like all CDs in this series, this is a wonderful release. Brendel plays Schubert like no one else in terms of fluidity. Most pianists like Zimmerman, Lupu, et al play Schubert with much feeling but somewhat disjointed and one often gets the feeling one piece is actually 3 or 4 separate pieces. Brendel's Schubert flows like nothing I ever heard before. Just listen to the beautiful D899 Andante which is the finest version of the many I heard. Stunning and masterful. I wonder how Richter or Sokolov would have played it, I am still looking for those version if they exists. Brendel's Haydn is likewise very excellent, much like Richter and even Jando who is quite good with Haydn. This CDs shows that Brendel deserves to be ranked wiht the greatest."
