HutchFan Posted July 25 Report Posted July 25 Clara Haskil - Philips Recordings 1951-1960 Disc 2 - Robert Schumann: Kinderszenen; Waldszenen - Beethoven: Sonata No. 17 "Tempest"; Sonata No. 18 Haskil's playing reminds me of Géza Anda's (with whom she sometimes performed). Their styles are extremely transparent -- like looking through pure water. Quote
soulpope Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Superb Schumann performances .... and Brahms Sonata 3 not bad either 😇 .... Quote
