HutchFan Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago 12 minutes ago, soulpope said: Interested in your impressions .... It's gorgeous music making. I'm enjoying it! Planès' playing strikes me as very buttoned-up and ultra-precise -- very "French" -- but these qualities give the music a different sort of drama than I've heard in Schubert before. It's a less Romantic sound; instead, it's an approach that seems to anticipate modernists like Debussy. I'd say that it's an interpretation that pays attention to air and the space-between-notes as much as it does to the notes themselves -- and this isn't something I'd normally associate with a composer like Schubert. Does that make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HutchFan Posted 20 hours ago Report Share Posted 20 hours ago (edited) For comparison's sake, I'm now listening to Ashkenazy's version of Schubert's D. 894: Relative to Planès' reading, Ashkenazy's more traditional interpretation is equally beautiful -- but it's an entirely different sonic world.

Yes, exactly. I like your use of the word "unadorned." Sometimes music that holds something back has the most powerful emotional effect on the listener.

I figured Wit's performance might have a special something, given that he's a Pole leading a Polish orchestra. Of course, that's not always an accurate indicator. But sometimes . . .
