Free Music Review: Schubert, Schumann revealed; incredible
Hit: 5 Stars
First, let me address the Schubert sonata included here (A minor, D845). Those who have heard all the Schubert piano sonatas know just how good they are. I return to them over and over; I don't need Pollini to convince me these are some of my favorite works. Notwithstanding, his playing has made me love them even more. This recording of the D845 sonata places it, in my mind, on par with the more-popular final three sonatas (D958-960). As with his other recordings, here he plays with such incredible clarity, refusing to place himself between the music and the listener. By that I mean he plays the notes to perfection, without trying to make the listener pause to realize what a great performer he is. As I listen I hear Schubert, not Pollini, which, paradoxically, leaves me in awe of both Schubert AND Pollini.
As for the Schumann sonata (F-sharp minor, Op. 11), Pollini again amazes me. Before hearing this album I hadn't really fallen for any Schumann piano works. That has all changed. His playing of the Op. 11 convinced me I was missing out on some great music. In other words, the same praise I've given the Schubert sonata above applies to the Schumann sonata as well. Given the high praise for Pollini's other Schumann recordings, I look forward to continuing to discover Schumann through Pollini.
I likewise highly recommend the companion album to this one, where Pollini plays the Schubert Wanderer Fantasy and the Schumann Fantasy.
The sound quality on this album is great; no qualms whatsoever.
