5 out of 5 stars Super Chamber Music.......2007-05-31

As I was listening to this while gardening, I forgot for a moment that I was listening to Schubert, and thought 'My, what good Chopin this is!'. Well, I caught myself and realized my little slip revealed the fact that even though solo piano may not have been Schubert's strongest suit, he still managed to do it as well or better than the great classic Mr. Piano Man himself. This is an excellent bargain package with two CD's for the price of one and a complete set of a major composer's genre. I'm not a student of piano style, but Alfred Brendel seems to realize these in a better than workmanlike fashion. He may not be Murray Perahia, but he's no slouch.

4 out of 5 stars Great Schubert, but add some schmaltz please!.......2007-03-18

I was greatly disappointed with my reaction to these CDs. There is nothing specific that I can say against the CDs, but....I was completely and totally uninvolved. I tried multiple listening, but it did not help. I was standing outside the music, and was examining it like I would an ant under the microscope. I know it is not my reaction to Schubert's impromptus, simply because I just adored them when I heard them performed by Krystian Zimerman.
The only thing I figured out is that Mr. Brendel was just too elegant and detached here for my taste. To use a metaphor, he was as elegant as a black cocktail dress, while a dress with some frills, colors, lace, and something soft would have been more appropriate here, I felt. In my view, even some schmaltz would be welcome here.
I guess it all depends on how you would be affected by this CD, so I do encourage you to try it!

5 out of 5 stars Brendel displaying his greatness.......2007-02-05

I've always heard Brendel was a great interpreter of Beethoven, but have not heard his recordings before this work of Schubert. Brendel is an amazing pianist, and Schubert an inspiring composer. Some say this work by Brendel doesn't bring out the fullness of Schubert, but if this isn't one of the best recordings of Schubert, I'll eat my hat.

5 out of 5 stars little music.......2007-01-02

Franz Schubert's piano impromptus are not big music.

Not only are the pieces relatively brief, but the absence of instruments other than solo piano and the evasion of bombast by Schubert altogether make these compositions small music.

But small is beautiful.

Alfred Brendel is at his understated best in his mastery of this genre. Lovers of the keyboard already know that Brendel can flow with Beethovian grandeur together with the best of them. He approaches Schubert's Impromptus, Deutsche Tanze, and Moment Musicaux as an artist with nothing to prove. The result is a pure reading of Schubert that leaves one savoring the music rather than the performer. That's a nice result that credits rather than demeans the pianist.

The Philips Classic ('Duo') series is at its usual peak form for quality, price, and therefore value.

3 out of 5 stars Good. But...just good........2005-12-21

Schubert is my favourite composer, and I regard the impromptus as one of the most aesthetically pleasing of his piano works. I personally have played the D.899 pieces, and I find them very simple to play, they are not by any means technically demanding. But to play them well is in fact extremely difficult.

Control of speed and pressure on the keys is critical in every piece, especially no.3 and no.4 in D.899.

With that said, Brendel's playing is very straightforward and textbook to the very core essentials. The playing is very clean, and his tempo is well under control. However, that's where it ends, as he doesn't bring the liveliness into these works of beauty. Schubert sounds nothing more than a . If you want the music itself without any passion, then this is the album to get. Sound quality is excellent.

The best schubert impromptus I have heard thus far is from Murray Perahia and Radu Lupu. Of the two, I prefer Murray Perahia's. His playing really defines Schubert as a composer - the emotional output is all there, in every note, every phrase. There is not a single part in any of the impromptus where it can be considered dull. Listen to his recording and you will see what I mean. Radu Lupu tends to put more emphasis on the lyrical qualities of these pieces by using strong vibrato. If you really want something out of this world, then try Mitsuko Uchida's version, which is the complete opposite of Brendel, with erratic playing (much like her own personality).

5 out of 5 stars Awesome.......2007-05-15

Schubert was a phenomenal composer. This set of CD's is now one of my most treasured possessions. His last sonata is almost 45 min long, an epic peice. Not for one second does Uchida's playing slow; she holds you completely engrossed in music so beautiful.

The sound quality is superb, the playing dense in personality and detail. As the previous reviewer mentioned, anyone interested in the piano, Uchida or Schubert this is a must have masterpeice.

5 out of 5 stars Days and Evenings with Schubert and Uchida.......2006-01-31

Mitsuko Uchida is one of the major stars of the piano keyboard today and while her repertoire is wide, her interpretation of Franz Schubert's piano music is among the finest both on the concert stage and on recording. The two seem to be from the same soul: Uchida somehow finds the spiritual core of Schubert and traverses the hurdles of his Olympian pieces with complete ease and assurance.

This 8 CD set includes three sets of Impromptus (D899, 935, 946), Moments musicaux D780, German Dances D 820 an D790, and the Piano Sonatas numbers 4, 7, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21. The placing of these works on the individual CDs creates a series of eight recitals and each disc is rich and satisfying. Playing all eight CDs in one day makes for one of the most rewarding musical experiences available.

The recorded sound is superb and Uchida is in top form for each selection. This is fine as Schubert gets and the entire set is more than well worth the relatively modest price. For lovers of the piano, of Mitsuko Uchida, and of Schubert this is zenith release. Highly recommended. Grady Harp, January 06

5 out of 5 stars Best 2-Dimensional Pianist.......2006-03-21

I love this album. Besides the familiar theme song, there are many pieces which we all learn to play as children studying piano. It's great to hear them. A great gift for young people studying piano.

5 out of 5 stars Best cd of its kind. Beautiful piano music........2006-02-25

I did not know what to expect when I ordered this cd. I ordered it primarily for the Lucy & Linus song but was pleasantly surprised with all the other selections of piano music. It is a cd of piano music that one would believe Schroeder would play. Classics from of course Beethovan and many other familiar favorites. I listen to this cd in the car and it is one of my favorite cd's.

5 out of 5 stars Great Music.......2006-02-24

Wonderful music to live by. I play this in my car instead of listening to annoying radio chatter. It is a great collection that ends with the Charlie Brown theme that brings back great childhood memories

5 out of 5 stars So happy to have this in my collection!.......2005-09-21

I had this cassette when I was a little girl...mom garage saled it accidentally and I had been missing it for a long time. Amazon was the only place I was able to find a copy of the CD and I was SOOO happy to see it in my mailbox. Just plain old piano classics...if you enjoy solo piano, this is a great one. Love it!

5 out of 5 stars El Gruñon.......2005-03-02

Very enjoyable CD. Simple and straight forward, a solo piano and selections from a long list of remarkable composers, followed up with the Peanuts tune Linus and Lucy with a jazz trio(piano, bass and drums) If this dosen't motivate a piano player nothing will. 5 stars!

Amazon.com

This CD's main attraction for many will be Gil Shaham's velvety violin in gorgeous, largely off-beat music. Others will relish these Schubert works in arrangements that replace the piano with the expert guitar of Göran Söllscher, enhancing the impression of hearing Schubert's music in the intimate domestic setting for which it was written. Most of the works are short, melodically rich dance-based gems on which Shaham and Söllscher lavish a Romantic tonal fullness and freedom rarely heard these days. Sometimes that's a bit too much of a good thing, as works like the Violin Sonata in D veer close to the sentimental. But more often the players' flexible approach makes it hard not to keep repeating items like the melting Serenade from Schwanengesang, the sprightly Moment musical in Kreisler's arrangement, the German Dance, and a truckload of other delights. Shaham isn't afraid to linger over attractive melodies or to use portamento and other weapons of the Romantic violin's arsenal, helping to make this disc so compelling. --Dan Davis

5 out of 5 stars Can Music Be Too Sweet?.......2006-09-14



Can music be too sweet? This philosophical question is worth pondering about. In the meantime go ahead and satisfy your musical sweet tooth with Shaham-Söllscher "Schubert for Two". This recording is a must for anybody who ever played violin and/or guitar. Mr. Shaham's rich and expressive vibrato is exactly how the vibrato was sounding in your young heart. Mr. Söllscher's sweet plucking will reincarnate your very first taste of guitar's sweetness, in a form of melodic exercises by Fernando Carruli. Your heart will ache with the desire to have back the sweet, innocent, uncomplicated, sunny music life of your childhood. You will love the "Arpeggione" piece. It will not sweep you off your feet, like the passionate, lush performance by Yuri Bashmet, but it will charm your socks off.
The booklet which comes with the CD is informative and engaging. It is full of fascinating details, such as the description of the now forgotten instrument arpeggione. This instrument was a hybrid between a guitar and a viola da gamba. It had six strings and frets like a guitar, but it was played with a bow. It was held between the knees! It is now solely remembered by the Schubert's composition titled after it. The booklet offers an insight into the music of Schubert and the making of this particular transcription and performance, as well as an interview with Shaham and Söllscher.

5 out of 5 stars Creative and Original.......2005-08-09

Despite some musical limitations that I perceive in this CD,I still give it a 5-star due to its magnigicient overall qualities.
I bought the "Schubert for Two" recording out of curiosity,mostly for the Arpegione Sonata.An outstanding performance of the substatial sonata for the now obsolete musical instrument had been previously given by Britten and Rostropovich ( on the Decca label ).And I was really curious to see how the piece would sound with a completely different team-up of instruments.And I was really shocked.Shaham and Gollscher gives a first-rate performance of a charming but lesser-known Schubert sonata.It would be useful to compare this performance of the young Shaham to that of the veteran Rostropovich.In the first movement,Shaham reveals his impeccable sense of phrasing and makes out the contrast between the dreamy first subject and the energetic development of the theme.However,despite Sollscher's efforts,there is a dramatic loss in the richness of the expressive accompaniment section written for the piano.Thus,the first movement in this disc has less warmth and is somewhat unstable compared to the performance of Rostropovich and Britten.As a compensation,the beautiful Adagio is played with utter charm and serenity.Shaham's expressive playing combined with Sollscher's excellent sense of legato result in great warmth and intimacy that surpasses Rostropovich's recording itself.The famous third movement with its cantabile melody is played beautifully on both recordings.For the first subject in A major,Rostropovich and Britten's performance has a deeper and thicker tone.But Rostropovich seemed a little bit too "serious" in the 2 development sections,notably in the virtuosistic D minor phrase,making it sound somewhat harsh.Shaham and Sollscher take a more carefree approach to these 2 sections and are able to make them "sing" more,especially in the central E major phrase,which reveal Shaham's gorgeous,song-like tone.
If you intend to buy this recording for the Arpegione Sonata,it would be a good idea to possess Rostropovich's recording as well.You can't go wrong with the other works featured on this disc either.The Sonatina is also given a splendid performance (and is reminiscent of the duo's previously released "Paganini for two").The Serenade and Ave Maria prove Shaham's wonderful phrasing (but once again witness the loss of volume and depth of sound on the guitar compared to the original piano accompaniments).The famous F minor Moment Musical,imbued with a slight gyspy touch in this arrangement,is really interesting to listen to.And the German Dances,with their simplicity and easygoing structures,are very entertaining.The performance of the Waltzes are more frivolous.And I find the 3 Waltzes arranged for solo guitar are somewhat aloof compared to the other works on the disc.But in overall this is a good choice for all music fans,classical or non-classical alike.

4 out of 5 stars Fine Performances of Transcriptions for Violin and Piano.......2003-05-02

Franz Schubert had the unique ability to blend the range of Romantic expressions with the elegant simplicity of the Classical style. In the short span of a song he expressed what Bruckner might take an entire symphonic movement to reveal.

Schubert for Two, a collection of transcriptions performed by violinist Gil Shaham and guitarist Göran Söllscher, captures the composer's intimate sophistication magnificently. Although the substitution of guitar for piano results in a regrettable loss of volume and resonance, the guitarist's direct contact of finger to string adds a wider variety of timbre. Schubert himself played guitar occasionally, and at least some of his works were published in similar transcriptions during his lifetime, so there is a sound historical basis for at least some of these versions of his work. Listeners may wish that the recording engineers had equalised the guitar more against the violin, but in so doing the natural balance of the instruments would have been destroyed.

Two large works form the core of the disc-the Sonata D. 384 originally for violin and piano, and the Arpeggione Sonata D. 821. Both are superb examples of the high Classic style, dramatic and lovely in turns, and all flavoured with Schubert's unique harmonic language. The latter piece was composed for a now obsolete instrument, the arpeggione, which was held and bowed like a cello but had the six strings and frets of a guitar. Complementing these pieces are a number of miniature dances, all played with exquisite taste. The CD concludes with Schubert's Ave Maria, showcasing Shaham's excellent sense of phrasing. The whole is a fine collection truly reflective of a Schubertiad evening in old Vienna.

5 out of 5 stars Relaxing and wonderful music.......2002-12-11

I bought this cd when I was pregnant with my baby and listened to it frequently and I also used it during and after labor to help relax. It was the perfect thing. And I have played it for my baby ever since at naptime and bedtime. She is a year old now and it still relaxes her.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent CD for bedtime.......2001-09-03

My daughter and I have listened to this CD hundreds of times since she was born. It is very soothing and great for bedtime and naptimes. The songs just flow along and put her (and sometimes me) right to sleep.

    5 out of 5 stars One of the best of the Masterworks series.......2007-07-06

    Brilliant Classics' "Masterworks" series, if you can get them cheaply (and currently they go for about $1/CD from Amazon's France Web site), are a great way to amass a significant library of the works of several great computers. The production values and the performances themselves are uneven, and the interpretations are not always historically-informed (unlike the bulk of Brilliant's "Complete Editions" of the works of Bach and Mozart). But there are numerous gems in the rough in The Masterworks, and the economic value is unsurpassed, even if you were to throw away half of the CDs in each set.

    You're unlikely to throw away much of this Schubert collection though. This seems to be the finest of the Masterworks sets, with a succession of solid, often first-rate performances of most of the major Schubert works. Here's what you get:

    - The symphonies, performed by The Hanover Band in a historically-informed style. Very interesting performances perhaps marred by an odd recording balance that makes the woodwinds sound distant. Takes up four CDs
    - The six Latin masses. Also the Deutsche Messe in the version with wind instruments. Five CDs in all
    - Edison Denisov's completion of Schubert's unfinished dramatic work Lazarus (2 CDs, Helmuth Rilling's premier recording)
    - The last four string quartets (including the Quartettsatz) with #9 thrown in. Also the octet, piano quintet ("The Trout"), string quintet and both piano trios. In short all the canonical chamber works. Performances are strong, and well recorded
    - Two CDs of violin/piano duets, including Op. 137 and Op. 162
    - 19 of the 21 "canonical" piano sonatas (missing #7 and #12) as well as the Moments Musicaux, Impromptus, German Dances, Wanderer Fantasy and several other piano works, 11 CDs in all. As with the chamber music, the performances and recordings are strong, often stunning
    - Two CDs of piano duets, including the Divertissements and D. 617
    - Song cycles: Die Schöne Müllerin, Winterreise, Schwanengesang, and four CDs of standalone songs, including such "standards" as Erlkönig and Gretchen am Spinnrade. The singers are a bit uneven here, ranging from standouts Robert Holl, Deitrich Fischer-Dieskau and John Shirley-Quirk to the somewhat shrill Arleen Augér

    Missing from the collection is Rosamunde, and a number of famous songs: Die Forelle (The Trout), Death and the Maiden, Ellens Gesang III (the so-called Ave Maria, D. 839), Der Hirt auf dem Felsen and Der Wanderer. But you do have almost all the important instrumental works, and most of the vocal works generally considered to be essential, with some padding added in the form of minor works such as the parochial Deutsche Messe, the German Dances, and the modernist-informed completion of Lazarus by the 20th Century Russian composer Denisov.

    As with the other Masterworks sets, there are no program notes. You'll need to do your own research. Answers.com is a good starting point for Schubert compositions. There are also no song texts or translations provided, so again you'll need to track down your own. Try "The Lied and Art Song Texts Page" for lieder lyrics and translations. Hunt down a good price on this collection, browsing one of Amazon's European sites if necessary, and treat yourself to many hours of lovely music for the cost of a modest night out.

    1 out of 5 stars Will not buy this.......2007-03-16

    I can't see D965 or D945 on this 40 disks worth of Schubert. Bizarre! There are so many great songs missing it scares me.

    4 out of 5 stars Worth it!.......2006-12-19

    One of the best in "The Masterpices" series. Many of the discs (the symphonies in particular) were licensed from Nimbus and other full-line labels. Not all that long ago these discs would have set you back $18 to $20 a piece. That said, I still wouldn't part with my Hyperion collection. 40 CD's at this price... you can't go wrong.

    4 out of 5 stars Great way to jumpstart a schubert collection.......2006-12-19

    Hartmut Holl, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Stephanie Brown, and Jaime Laredo as well as the Stuttgart Bach Collegium performing Schubert are hardly "left-behind artists and ensembles" as the previous naysayer states. These are licensed from major label releases and from the original masters issued at a bargain price, especially for the number of discs you get. Sound quality ranges from good to excellent. Good for all Schubertians and anyone who wants to jumpstart a Schubert collection.

    1 out of 5 stars Better to Pick a Few First-rate Performances.......2006-11-14

    This is a bargain in dollar/listening time ratio, but who cares? There are many second-rate performances by left-behind artists and ensembles. Obviously the economics of resurrecting disks that don't require royalties has been the driving factor of selection. (On the other hand, the complete edition boxed sets of Bach and Mozart, which you'll find if you look, are stupendous successes artistically.)

    5 out of 5 stars Vintage Ashkenazy.......2005-06-14

    This CD features recordings made in 1966. I first heard him playing in Newcastle, Australia shortly after this, so the CD brings back happy memories, though at the time we heard him playing Chopin and Beethoven, I think.

    The A Major Sonata is a gem, but we also enjoy the Hungarian Melody which we have only recently discovered.

      I first heard of Hikari Oe many years ago when he was featured on a news program. I was so moved by his story, that I went out to buy his CD. I fell in love. I am so amazed that this man who can do nothing for himself, can write such beautiful music. He is simply amazing. This is a wonderful cd from a wonderful man. Don't miss it!!!!

      4 out of 5 stars Music of Hikari Oe.......2000-06-11
