Synopsis

Amazon.com

The late Lili Kraus was best known as a Mozart specialist, but she also had the temperament for a great Schubert player. The love of music that constantly flowed through her found memorable expression in these late Schubert recordings, oriented towards the lyrical element in the music. Although Kraus was not noted as a great virtuoso, she gives a really thrilling performance of the difficult Wanderer Fantasy, as she did in concert. And she minimizes the technical problems of the other music, always keeping it flowing. This is the kind of piano playing we usually hear dubbed from noisy 78s, but Vanguard's stereo analog tapes sound fine. --Leslie Gerber
