Better than It Can Be Played
The second of four programmes about the pianist Artur Schnabel. In the 1920s, he was responsible almost singlehandedly for rediscovering the Schubert piano sonatas, and his Schubert recordings are another of his glorious legacies. Distinguished interpreters talk to Stephen Plaistow about Schnabel's lasting achievement. This all-Schubert programme includes some
Impromptus and Moments Musicaux, the Sonata in A, D959, four-hand duets played with Schnabel's son
Karl Ulrich , lieder with his wife
Therese Bahr , and a movement from the Trout Quintet with the Pro Arte Quartet.
