Piano Sonatas Nos.18, 21, impromptus D.935, etc - Andras Schiff (this is all HMV has listed currently)



Hard to read, but this is both sets of Impromptus D899 and D935.

[Todd]

ECM lists the contents as follows:

András Schiff Franz Brodmann fortepiano (Vienna, c.1820)
   
CD 1

Ungarische Melodie in h-moll D 817

Sonate in G-Dur D 894 (op.78)

Vier Impromptus D 935 (op.142)
Allegro moderato in f-moll

Andante in B-Dur
Allegro scherzando in f-moll

Sonate in B-Dur D 960
Molto moderato
Andante sostenuto
Scherzo. Allegro vivace con delicatezza – Trio
Allegro ma non troppo – Presto



Schiff playing Schubert - good.  Fortepiano - (possibly) not so good.

The Barto Goldbergs could be good in a perverse sort of way.

I thought it looked familiar, but at least nobody had posted an Amazon link before.  0:)  (switch .com to .de to see it, though . . .)

Brilliant Classics is seemingly releasing a new Dvořák edition [45 cds] in the near future - May 1

Is this a re-release (reshaping) of the older Dvořák Masterworks Edition (currently going for hundreds of dollars)?

[Camphy]

The Beethoven and Schubert quartets are live performances recorded at the Vienna Konzerthaus.

Mozart: Piano Sonatas No. 11, 17 & 18

'It's a genuine mission to fulfil the task of recording the complete Mozart sonatas. A mission that constantly has me asking questions of myself, and which sometimes has me feeling quite dizzy: can I do it? Am I right to? And yet I feel a literal attraction for these sonatas. They're an unending source of wonder to me. It's a joy to record them, and even an inner necessity.' - Menahem Pressler, who just turned 91 years old

Thanks for posting this information!      Intriguing! Great for an alluring swim in the British Music pond!

The Op.119 is, simply, great.

The Op.81 is much better than prejudice has given out;  I should indeed call it simply very good.

The Op.90 I do not much recall . . . say that reflects more on me than on the music.

[Madiel]

Hmm. Both the Groves box and the Shostakovich look quite interesting.
