Movie Reviews of Schubert - Final Three Sonatas played by Alfred Brendel
Movie Review: Rare view of a Master at work
Summary: 5 Stars
I own several recordings of each of the Schubert posthumous sonatas, including Horowitz, Richter, Pollini, and Uchida in addition to this Brendel DVD. These demanding sonatas are a rewarding experience in the hands of any of these masters, but since purchasing the Brendel I have listened to it most often in preference to the others.
Just for one comparison, listen to the Andantino 2d movement of d.959. In one place, there is a figure for the left hand crossing over, a rapid four strikes, that is repeated several times. Brendel makes all four strikes exactly the same every time, and on the DVD I am pleased to see how he does it. Some of the other performers don't get all four strikes the same. From other comparisons as well as this I conclude that Brendel offers one of the best technical treatments. But he gives us an intimate emotional reading of them as well.
As a bonus, the recording quality is superb, especially if your equipment supports the DTS 5.1 encoding. The acoustics of the Middle Temple are very nearly ideal for these works.
Here is an opportunity to collect all three posthumous Schubert sonatas, by one of the very best interpreters at the top of his career, in an excellent location, using the best available recording techniques, with video, at a very reasonable price. I recommend it highly for any serious collection.
