4.0 out of 5 stars Richter's austere Schubert, March 27, 2009

By 

Scriabinmahler (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Schubert: Piano Sonatas,d.566, d.575, d.958, d.960 / (13) Huttenbrenner Variations,d.576 (Audio CD)

Richter's Schubert may be too austere and even crude at times for listeners who are used to Brendel's intellectual account or Uchida's refined performace, but that's the very reason why I like Richter's interpretation - the stark contrast of moods, the sharp sense of architecture, and the transcendental quality. All these recordings are available on BBC Legend (Live in Manchester & Aldeburgh) for much better remastering, except D. 958 recorded live in 1958, Budapest.
