7:12 Brendel plays Schubert exquisitely. I particularly appreciate his interpretation of dance rhythms in this music and the fresh sense of discovery he communicates. His Schubert playing breathes like vocal music and has a natural continuity from one idea to the next. Radu Lupu is another who elevates this Piano Sonata to the spiritual realm.
An excellent Schubert expert who can play Schubert music the best. More over Alfred Brendel wrote some poems. So he must be the best person to give us such a good speech. Thnaks. 谢谢！
expert; expert... yes expert but it's not at all a reason to be the best in each sonata, in each movement, in each sentence ! We have each one our own opinion about each detail and the best pianist is for us the closer of our vision; for that reason, we MUST hear many interprétations to shape our taste; Brendel is often very good in Schubert but he is not alone and other visions are also ...or more interesting, more contrasted: so Brendel doen't knows neither ff or fff nor pp; Hear Richter in 894-4 or 960-4, or Uchida, for instance, and tell me what you think about...
There is Claudio Arrau, who gives the music room to breathe His version of Sonata in G major, D894: ruclips.net/video/fbwmId4m4h4/видео.html And Sonata No. 21 in B flat D960: ruclips.net/video/R1lJqD82R8k/видео.html
As he speaks, it is as though he is doing a voice over for rhythm and music that only he can hear. is there any doubt that, despite his criticisms and idiosyncracies, this is music he loves dearly?
In response to that great musical intellectual in the comments below (TrevRockOne), "Brendel doesn't know..." Really??? In the presence of true genius, those of lesser stature are ALWAYS offended (Read: "I haven't the slightest chance of understanding what's being said, so I'll just rubbish the speaker in a ludicrous attempt at self-aggrandizement… proving nothing and fooling no one). Your comment is, sadly, very typical of your kind; the foolish very rarely remain silent long enough to disprove their own ineptitude. In conclusion, USE YOUR REAL NAME when making idiotic statements about great musicians so I know exactly who I’m offending! Mike D.
Let me remind you that Brendel is on record saying that Schubert was wrong in putting that fortissimo section between the exposition and the repeat of the d960, which is why Brendel omits the repeat in his recordings. Brendel thinks he knows Schubert's music better than Schubert; thus, Brendel's views of his music are highly suspect.
@TrevRockOne Claudio Arrau plays D.894 very well, always giving the music room to breathe. I would not want the repeat (and the fortissimo section) left out. Arrau appears to have only recorded 3 of Schubert's Sonatas (D.960 and D.664). He also played the Klavierstucke D.946. I feel that Arrau's playing of Schubert is in a class of its own. ruclips.net/video/fbwmId4m4h4/видео.html

I would love to hear more of his analysis.

@tonycosworth He is an expert, while you are just resenting.
toll!! Vielen Dank!
The best of two worlds: Brendel's introductions, and Sviatoslav Richter's interpretations!!
Richter takes the first movement too slowly - Brendel is better.

A, Brendel. Escute, …. fabuloso!
haughty...
Wie Schubert das macht ist Zauberei....
Interessante diskussion und analyse... es geht mehr um persönliche gefühle und emotionale ausgeglichenheit.
Why doesn't Brendel make any comment on the last, wonderful movement?
he does, it evaporates into thin air

ich bin ein cello poet!

Wait… did you just say Brendel is a genius? nono, TrevRockOne is completely right, Brendel is an arrogant, elitist sack of shit.
I totally agree. that guy is a nut case if I've ever seen one

Brendel doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.
