1) Audio CD Music Paul Badura-Skoda plays 3 Piano Sonatas by Schubert by Kleos.
The recorded Sonatas in this superb album are part of the immense musical bequeath of Schubert. These pages have surmounted the test of time although the super virtuosity of Liszt, the romantic moods of Schumann, the refined enchantment of Chopin´s and the greatness of Beethoven ´s Piano Sonatas.
After having been almost buried form the memory if the great audiences, we must thank for the posterity the epic efforts of such notable pianist such as Artur Schnabel and Edwin Fisher who literally wrought the soul , spirit and grandiloquence of this supreme master; pianist of pianist, ceaseless studious of Schubert´s piano music as he humbly confess in the booklet.
None of these three Sonatas were released during Schubert´s life, and these are in rigorous tandem, the A major Op. 120 D 664, The F minor D. 625 and finally the superb and to my mind one of the greatest piano Sonata ever composed; the C minor D..958 .
These works were admirably played by Mr. Badura Skoda (46 by then) at the MozartsaaL, Vienna in May and September 1973 in a Bösendorfer Imperia, possibly the most adequate piano to make sound Schubert with vibrant intensity and luminous lyricism.
The level of performance of all these works are simply out of this world and certainly belong to a very careful and detailed revision of the best interpretations of this colossal artist, who makes use of his exuberant pianism to illuminate the score and majestic deepness of such notable works.
It´s useless to add something else for all those who known the admirable trajectory of this outstanding master. So having listened seven times the last week, I don´t hesitate just for a second to recommend you.
This is an album for the history of the music.
