My two favorite performances are Richter's and Badura-Skoda's. The proportions and pacing of both are brilliant, and both work, even with the differences in tempo and ultimate experience that is conveyed.
Utterly brilliant performance; , wistful, lyrical, sensitive, majestic, noble, yet human, playful, dancing - everything we love about Schubert. Bravo, Mr Badura-Skoda! Written five months before Beethoven's death - did he see this, the last of Schubert's published sonatas? If so, my guess is he would have been pleased by it.
Wonderful as wonderful can be ! Schubert+Badura-Skoda= Musical heaven ! Grandissimo ! PS. Only Badura Skoda understood the tempi of this wonderful but very difficult to interpret sonata?!
PBD loved his Bosendorfer and it was his instrument of choice well before he made his experimental HIP recordings. Schubert sounds so much nicer on an instrument that was developed in response to his pioneering innovations. Fortepianos can provide some insight but their expressive range is limited. Give me Schubert on a modern grand any day of the week. Schubert would have enthusiastically agreed!
Thank you, Paul, for staying in meter (first movement) and playing exactly what Schubert has written!
Sublime, as usual...
GENIUS
