Free Music Review: Legendary Indeed
Hit: 5 Stars
While this Decca "Legenary Performance" was recorded in 1982, it still stands as a pinnacle of Shubert pianism. Every guide I see rates it highly. After recently listening again to this disc twice though, I was moved by the poetic sweep of the music and could not point to anything that seemed out-of-place or in need of refinement. Lupu's touch just sounds right - dare say perfect - for the music. Lendendary is a fitting description of this recording whose sound is much more modern than the 80-'s recording date. Be part of music history and delve into the poetic world of Shubert given to us by this marvelous pianist so attuned to Schubert's lyrical story telling. This one is easy: Compositions - 5 stars; Performance - 5 stars; Sound Quality - 4.5 stars.
Schubert: Impromptus D 899 & D 935 / Radu Lupu Poster
Lupu is a keyboard poet, and Schubert's lyrical gems seem as though they were written for his interpretive artistry. He sings the gorgeous melodies with limpid, beautiful tone. The intimacy Lupu achieves in the G-flat impromptu sounds almost personal, an effect heightened by the transparent engineering. There's a luminosity to Lupu's traversal of these remarkable works that's irresistible; his pianism alternates subtle lights and shades. While the playing is elegant and refined, he doesn't stint on the dramatic contrasts in the music, nor does he neglect the dark poetry that pulls it into deeper regions. There are many fine versions of these classics; Lupu's stands with the best. --Dan DavisClassical Music CDs
