Customer Reviews:
The playing is the voice of Beethovan.......2007-02-12
More technically immaculate versions are available, but none convey to you the spirit and temperament of Beethovan as Schnabel did. The slow movements eclipse all those from other players. Any music lover who really wants to know what Beethovan is like must listen to this. As Beethovan's famous saying : " from the heart, it goes to the heart ".
An excellent incarnation of classic recordings.......2005-01-07
Artur Schnabel's seminal interpretations of the Beethoven piano sonatas, recorded between 1932 and 1935, are among the unquestionable classic recordings in the record history. Opinions divide, however, regarding Schnabel's mastery. From a technical point of view, his interpretations are not always clinically accurate. But whatever Schnabel lacks in technical brilliance, his interpretations are perfectly balanced, thoughtful, and moving. If one just wants one set with Beethoven's sonatas, this classic set deserves a serious consideration.
The present Regis incarnation of the old 78s submits Schnabel's interpretations in a clear sound that is remarkably fresh. I have not heard the HMV version, which often is blamed for its bad sound. The monophonic sound in this set, however, is nothing but excellent despite the considerable age of the original recordings.
The only oddity is that Regis has made the pauses between each sonata incredibly short - for economical reasons I suppose. Now the complete sonatas fit on 8 cds in a very slim package. That should of course not prevent you from grabbing this fine set.
