[Lento]

Schnabel on Spotify, I see.

Michel Dalberto, originally on Denon, now a Brilliant boxed set. Don't know if available on its own.

Correction:

Michel Dalberto, originally on Denon, then a Brilliant boxed set. That box now unavailable except second hand at very inflated prices (e.g. from amazon.com).

That explains the 'omission'!

Interesting. That's the 2005 Brilliant Classics edition. They re-boxed it in 2010. Perhaps they will offer it again this year.

I am currently exploring this very reasonable little boxset from Badura-Skoda, for those interested in hearing the oeuvre sur instruments d'époque.

It is never less than a fascinating listen. I think the same alcopop-addled teenage interns referred to earlier were responsible for the contents here - it is the "complete" Schubert piano sonatas, sans the sonata in D flat, D567.

... I don't think many recordings offer the Db Sonata D567, do they? - most seem to stick with Schubert's reworking in Eb, D568. Of the various sets and individual CDs of Schubert piano works on the shelves here it seems that only Martino Tirimo provides both D567 and D568.

What about the Vermeulen set you bought, Vints...does it have D567 as well?

Noel Lee recorded them both, but whether still available?????

... no, Vermeulen doesn't include D567 - nor does Bilson

Very few do, regarding it, as Paul Badura-Skoda explicitly does in his notes for three volume edition of his survey, as little more than an unfinished sketch which the composer later worked up into the E flat major sonata Op. 122, D 568. It does not help that though the listings are correct in the booklet, the Digipak's back cover lists D 568/506 as D 557, and that the Presto Classical listing claims that the set includes D 567.

There are two Perahia recordings, the earlier may now only be available in his 40 Year boxset collection (of all his Sony recordings).

But for me it's Pollini on DG.

I only found the box set. Do you have a link for the other one?

I haven't heard it since it was first released (twelve years ago! What happens to the time?!) - I remember being very impressed (more so than with Uchida, whose Schubert I "admire" and "respect" rather than find irresistable), but couldn't afford it; and, if it had bowled me over, I would have found the funds!
