How strange that I am the first to review this set here. This must be a later compilation or something similar, for I know the set has had some attention. There is little to say except that the whole set is great. Very beautiful, sometimes veering on the more plangent side of things compared to others. But still vigorous and incisive. I hate to even bring up the fact that Christian Zacharias' later playing is a quite different thing. I have no idea what to make of his more mature efforts recently, and won't go into it. Except to say that if a recent BBC performance with Sinaisky of the Schumann concerto is any indication then all the virtues one finds in this set seem to have become ho-hum for our amazingly talented fellow. NO, let us just say that this entire set of Schubert's sonatas has not a dull moment, and not a harsh, hard-bitten one either.
