There is the feeling here that before every note Mr. Brendel takes a mint before kissing it; which is fine, but Diane Walsh's version of the A minor sonata, Yanel Jomets playing of sonata in Eb, or Maria Yudina and Lazar Berman's interpretations of this work in particular are all examples of Schubert when he is not behind the veil of an absolutely absolutist civil view.
@sccadu Schnabel played this unbelievably subtly (as did Brendel) but was stylistically less conservative. I do think a certain amount of free interpretation is allowable for this particular work of Schubert's. It is a sonata in classical form, but the change of textures and mood give it an almost rhapsodic nature.
@VelikyRostov9 but i still feel it's what it's supposed to be, though i'm no expert at all. i just wanted to express my opinion. to me this is a piece that seems slow, serene and restful and whose inner upsets and desires which it does have i believe need to be interpreted or delivered by means of certain type of delicate techniques. and i do wish you hadn't drawn the conclusion merely from how it looks but how it really sounds.

This is too polite, dry, predictable, and uncontrasted for my tastes. Thank you for the post,however.

@VelikyRostov9 You have no appreciation for the subtle, or the subdued. Why are you here and commenting? Do you expect to impress?

What the heck does Brendel have on the tips of his fingers?

@MaestroTJS
Brendel has very brittle fingernails that tend to break. He uses bandages or plaster to protect them in most of his performances.
