Title: Complete Schubert , well done, at a Great Value
Review: Franz Schubert's Piano Sonatas have had the great misfortune of being written about the same time as Beethoven's sonatas. Beethoven's are the ne plus ultra of the piano sonata and are justly esteemed by music lovers everywhere. Schubert's sonatas while lacking Beethoven's ruthless logic and frequent virtuosity are, if anything, more beautiful. They unfold at a serene and visionary pace. Walter Klien does a fine job here and this is one of only two complete sets of the Schubert sonatas available (The remaining sonatas are available in the VOX volumes 2 & 3). I prefer Alfred Brendel in this literature, but he has not recorded the complete set. If you like Schubert, then you will not be unhappy with these performances.
