Brendel's Schubert recording stands out for its quiet spaciousness and refined execution.
The recording includes D.894 and the unfinished D.840, and the performance carefully handles the flow of the melody, resulting in a performance that naturally conveys the work's tranquility and relaxed expression.
In D.894, the melody unfolds softly in a gentle pace, enveloping the entire piece in a quiet expanse. The unfinished D.840 is composed only of the extant movements, but the well-organized flow ensures an uninterrupted flow, conveying its charm in a straightforward manner. Both works emphasize calm rather than intense ups and downs, and the smooth succession of phrases creates an impression. The differences in the character of each piece are effortlessly conveyed, and this recording consistently conveys the refined approach Brendel has taken to Schubert's works.
