Synopsis:
Alfred Brendel is arguably the most outstanding expert of Schubert’s piano music, a man capable of bringing both, the verve of this music and its poetic intensity, to life. In this unique video Collection, Alfred Brendel not only plays all Schubert’s major keyboard works, but he also introduces each piece, throwing light on its compositional substance and at the same time revealing his own highly personal relationship with these masterpieces of Romantic music. Each volume consists of a 10 to a 15-minute introduction by the artist, followed by a complete performance. Shot in 1976 and 1977, the series remains a document of unmitigated fascination.
The way Brendel plays Schubert gives all the reasons for being a living legend.
