5.0 out of 5 stars The best performance of Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata, November 26, 2009

This review is from: Schubert: Arpeggione Sonata (Audio CD)

This performance by young cellist Queyras and pianist Tharaud is out of this world. Just listen to the polished and multicromatic playing by Queyras, his cello sound is powerfull, brilliant but also mild and sweet. Tharaud understands perfectly the sometimes concertante role of the piano in this work and did an excellent job with wise decisions and good taste. There's no other version as good as this, only the recordings by Wispelwey and Bylsma with period cellos and pianoforte are competition but I think this piece sounds better in modern cello and piano but with historically informed performance. Queyras is one of the best cellists of our time, in great shape always, with baroque and modern cello. The rest of the pieces by Schubert in this recording are great as the brief works of XXth century by Webern and Berg.
