Music reviews of Alfred Brendel Plays Beethoven
Music Review: Great Bargain
Rating: 5 Stars
I've owned and enjoyed these performances for many years, so I was really amazed when I read the bad review from the Amazon reviewer. The 1994 Penguin Guide gave the Diabelli Variations a very positive 3-star review, calling it a powerful, commanding performance, and also praised the Bagatelles as beautifully done. The sound is also good , if a bit too closely recorded. This has to be one of the best buys around.
Description of Alfred Brendel Plays Beethoven
Even Alfred Brendel may not approve of the Beethoven performances heard on these discs. Brendel is several decades older and wiser now, and may well find these products of his relative youth as callow as I do. The magnificent Diabelli Variations, one of Beethoven's greatest compositions, is trivialized by this undercharacterized playing, which lets so many important moments go by without saying anything special about them. It's worth the extra money to spring for a great performance of this music, like Richter on Praga PR 254 023 or Oelbaum on Bridge BCD 9010. The smaller pieces also sound bland. Even at a low price this set is no great bargain. --Leslie GerberGeneral CDs
