I use this adjective deliberately thinking to the book "essential CDs, 1995 version" Fayard who has served me early in my CD collection. Unfortunately, since more editions! If a music lover knows a recent book offering comparative criticism, I'm interested. Returning to Schubert: I had 2 versions: Dalberto and Perrahia; with a preference for Perrahia; But here we must recognize that Mr. Brendel puts the bar very high; everything is there and especially poetry. AND for audiophiles a good sound !!
