I recall when my dear late father introduced me to this piece when I was a teenager; he relayed that when he first heard it on an LP in the 60s he nearly hit the ceiling - the same did not happen to me back when I was a teen but it has grown steadily on me to where now I consider it one of Schubert's most mysterious penetrating works. D 813 is also from this incredible time of his fertile life!!!
It's a work which haunted me from the beginning. The ending is sublime, a kind of acquiescence to life, after all the struggle and search for its meaning.
Never heard this before, how good is that! I love the clarity, two Schnabels instead of one, no wonder Glenn Gould loved them! Thank you so much for uploading !
Oh, good ... I have somewhere on my computer a portrait of Schubert's flame, Therese Grob (1798-1875) "I loved someone very dearly and she loved me too … . For three years she hoped I would marry her; but I could not find a position which would have provided for us both." ... So in 1820 Therese married Johann Bergmann, a baker ....
It's so sad that they couldn't marry each other because of banal circumstances... But on the other hand, who knows how many masterpieces Schubert would NOT have written had he had a happy family life...
Karoline Esterhazy - dad was suspicious of their closeness during music lessons and Schubert was sent back, nicely, to Vienna - it was one of the few jobs he had...
one of my favorite Schubert recordings: model of A.Schnabel's dictum," Safety last....!"
on beautiful pre WWII Bechsteins.
There certainly was a purity of tone in these great pre-war Bechteins, especially in the upper reaches of the treble.

sembra eseguita al cimbalon, che bella interpretazione, ricca, intensa!
💝💝💝 Wonderful upload, amazing sound, thank you for this
Beautiful ! Thanks for posting :)
I can't describe the emotion... 29:06
Sublime!
A highly stylized picture ofSchubert. I should know, as i met Schubert in the flesh once.
23:34 I think Brahms might have based the middle section of his G Minor Capriccio (op. 116 no 3) on this?
Nice
Could you graciously tell, dear Erwin, who is the lady at 6:11 ? Thank you
One of the Esterházy daughters that received piano lessons from Schubert!
