Franz Schubert - Moment musical F minor - Impromptu A flat major - Clifford Curzon

[boxers7x5]

Love this!!. I saw Curzon when I was about 15 doing the Mozart concerto no. 24 and will never forget it. I went backstage in Carnegie Hall and waited on a very long line to meet him. He was very gracious and happy to greet everyone!

@berlinzerberus ...good to know...an anecdote...I asked an older friend if she knew of Sir Clifford...she said he was one of the examiners just after the war when she did her grade 5 piano...in those days...examiners would come across to Canada from England...well I never...

I have other recordings of schubert that just haunt me. He is one of the great ones. So clean, so chaste,

[RabidCh]

Playing style reminds me of Solomon (or vice versa). Thanks

[Sinfoniette]

Holy crap thanks a zillion for this.

This is finely crafted playing and surprisingly passionate in the impromptu from one who looks so like an English bank manager! It's good to see and hear Curzon playing at his best.
