Title: Richter's austere Schubert
Review: Richter's Schubert may be too austere and even crude at times for listeners who are used to Brendel's intellectual account or Uchida's refined performace, but that's the very reason why I like Richter's interpretation - the stark contrast of moods, the sharp sense of architecture, and the transcendental quality. All these recordings are available on BBC Legend (Live in Manchester & Aldeburgh) for much better remastering, except D. 958 recorded live in 1958, Budapest.
