Free Music Review: Schnabel's final recordings
Hit: 5 Stars
Made less than a year before his death,these are great pianists final recordings.There were plans for others,but for some reason,they never materialised.It is equaly depressing to know that none of his last concerts were recorded.But what we do have of his interpretations is,in my opinion,more than enough for a claim that he was the gratest pianist of the last century.
These recordings of Impromptus are rather well known,and justly called the definitive,so I will not bother the fellow Schnabel enthousiast with any aditional(though,well deserved)praise.Few words about this edition,though.
It must be said that the transfer issued by Music and Arts as a part of their box-set of Schnabel's complete Schubert recordings does sound better.Remastered by Mark Obert Thorn,well known for his efforts on Schnabel's recordings issued recently by Naxos,they are a great improvement over this 2005.EMI disc.Still,the transfer on this CD is certainly not bad,it has been made from the original tapes(which,unfortunately,do show some traces of deterioration compared with the transfer done for the late '80. edition of these recordings)and is certainly a better buy if you want the Impromptus only.But for those interested in the entire Schnabel's Schubert output,go for the Music and Arts set(five discs priced as four).
