Emil von Sauer was a pupil of Liszt (1811-1886), who made probably the most successful recordings of any of the Liszt pupils. Sauer was noted for his aristocratic approach to music-making, with lashings of charm, elegance and style backed up by phenomenal technique.
This recording of the Schumann A minor piano concerto op.54 was made in 1940 from a live radio broadcast. The performance is rather different from most today (which draw from the more extrovertedly fiery conception of the work promoted by Sauer's younger contemporary, Alfred Cortot): it is complex and subtle. It is possible that Sauer's interpretation draws from his having heard Clara Schumann (the composer's wife) performing this work. Despite the age, this recording is still one of the very finest of the concerto there is.

Beautiful! Thank you for posting this. He makes sense of this music in a way no one today can. Interesting to hear the way the pupils of the Romantics played their music.
