Composer/Series: John Damgaard plays Schubert Sonatas and Piano Works
Description
Whether you know these sonatas well or are totally unfamiliar with them, you owe it to yourself to hear this set. Schubert playing like this is rare. In July/August I reviewed two recent Schubert discs by Stephen Hough and Malcolm Bilson. Both were well played and well recorded. But I now feel constrained to add that in spite of their many individual virtues as Schubert interpreters, they are light years removed from Damgaard. This set (with its magisterial playing and even better sound) will surely be my Record of the Year. I am grateful to the editor for bringing it to my attention. If I can bring it to the attention of others, I will have done some good in the world. - American Record Guide
