CD Reviews

The Pearl is preferable

Ralph J. Steinberg | New York, NY United States | 02/08/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Naxos recently reissued the first four Concerti in these performances; hopefully, the "Emperor" Concerto will soon follow. Nevertheless, the Pearl issue has somewhat superior sound. The Naxos, while boasting very good reproduction of the piano, has moments of rather thin and strident orchestral sound. The Pearl is smoother, richer in body, and more open in sound. What the Naxos does have going for it is its incredibly inexpensive price; the Pearl is more than twice the price per disc. Still, for those playing these discs on wide-range equipment, I'd suggest the Pearl as preferable.
As for the performances themselves, they are so well known that they need no be discussed in any depth here. it is sufficient to say that Schnabel remains the most probing and passionate of Beethoven pianists. Forget about modern hi-fi and stereo; listen to this set and get hooked for life!"
