Recordings

Top Choice

Andras Schiff

1980s/1990s

Gil's top choice for these works. Features Schiff's 'wonderful natural style, a beautiful tone,' and 'grace and proportion' that 'really brings out the beauty of the works and also the rhythmic energy.'

Also Worth Hearing

Arthur Schnabel

1930s/1940s

A historic recording. Schnabel's 'flexibility and imagination' and 'nervous energy' pay dividends, especially in the Chromatic Fantasia & Fugue. The sound is 'listenable.'
