The pre-war Schubert recordings
Four Impromptus, D.899 • Four Impromptus, D.935
Fantasy in C, D.760 ("Wanderer")
It's hard to imagine any living pianist offering Schubert at this level, at least consistently...As for sonics, these transfers strike me as a good compromise between the full-toned but scratchy sound of Pearl and the dull, over-filtered quality typical of EMI...Appian wins handily this time.- ARG (USA)
