Value her Schubert recordings highly - as Elisabeth Leonskaja lives in Vienna/Austria for a long time, I did/do encounter her live performanes recurringly and it is interesting to witness how her "Russian School" slightly percussive style was infiltrated over the time by emotional aspects - IMO a perfect basis for Schubert ....

Me too:
Franz Schubert – Sonata for Piano in A major D.664 Op.120, Fantasy for Piano in C major D.760 Op.15 "Wanderer"

— Sviatoslav Richter (piano) (EMI Classics)

 

 

 

After hearing Leonskaja  playing Schubert, had an urge to hear Richter doing the same.

Great to have these two near by to compare - (IMO) both having distinct valid views on Schubert .... as do have others like Arrau, Betz, Afanassiev, Goode, Lupu, ....

[alankin]

It was nice to hear both.

[soulpope]

Needed another taste of Schubert .... :

[A Lark Ascending]

Bartok - SQ5 and Concerto for Orchestra

Schoenberg - Suite Op. 29; Chamber Symphony 1 (Webern cut down arrangement)
