CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Radu Lupu is one of our greatest contemporary pianists. He works within a relatively narrow range on recordings (although he plays a greater variety in concert) and makes only a few of them. But as a player of music from Beethoven to Brahms--and especially of Schubert--he has made some of the best piano CDs in the catalog. His playing here is simply exquisite. The lighthearted D. 664 sounds carefree and charming, while the deep emotionalism of Schubert's last Piano Sonata (D. 960) is extremely convincing and affecting here. These are recordings for the ages, so we are fortunate that their piano sound is so good. --Leslie Gerber Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsUnsurpassed Garry Feeney | Sydney. Australia | 03/14/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "It seems like self-agrandisement to review something as magnificent as this recording, but the word must be spread. The technique is flawless, the musicality is inspirational and Schubert's masterful status is fully vidicated in every note. This recording, like all of Lupu's Schubert, is unsurpassed. I should add, for those who are yet to listen to this music, once you do, you will play it many, many times." A Wonderful, Uninhibited Schubert 09/18/1998 (5 out of 5 stars) "Lupu's Schubert is delightful, light, yet powerful. He is never timid, always sensitive to every nuance and change of color. He plays with a rare natural gusto and absolute delight for the music. Surely one of the finest recording of Schubert piano music available."
