Stunning

(5 out of 5 stars)

"To my mind this recording is as good as Uchida's rendition of Schubert's D. 960 sonata, which is saying something. I've always liked the D. 894, but until I heard Uchida's interpretation, I never realized just how profound it is. As far as I'm concerned you can't ask for more than that from a recording. D. 894 is expansive in the best sense of the word, and Uchida takes it at a leisurely pace so that its delights gradually unfold and then fully flower. This piece seems made for her searching, spiritual readings of Schubert's works, and the coupling of D. 894 with the unfinished torso of D. 840 is very appealing. Like D. 894, the two movements that comprise D. 840 need a lot of room for their momentum to gather and grow, and Uchida supplies the necessary space in abundance. While I was a little disappointed with Uchida's interpretation of D. 959 (I explain why in a separate review of that recording), this release is a triumph, and may very well strengthen the case for D. 894's being placed in the exalted company of Schubert's final three sonatas. Enthusiastically recommended."
