Don Posted December 8, 2020 Report Posted December 8, 2020 Schiff's ECM recordings of Schubert (on a period instrument) have been a revelation for me this year. His essay in the liner notes is well worth reading. There's a subtlety to the fortepiano that made Schubert new to me. It was as if listening to him for the first time. https://www.ecmrecords.com/shop/143038752064/franz-schubert-andras-schiff https://www.ecmrecords.com/shop/1548146073/franz-schubert-sonatas-impromptus-andras-schiff Quote

Don Posted December 10, 2020 Author Report Posted December 10, 2020 It was revelatory because I've listened to Schubert for years, but Schiff's playing made it new to me. Quote
