The slow movement is expressive, but elsewhere Sofronitsky's playing lacks refinement (it's frankly rough and ready in places), as well as faithfulness to Schubert's score (especially dynamic markings; and where's the Presto at the end?); should the finale really be as skittish as this? There are many, many finer versions of this masterpiece on record, but thanks for posting.
