Editorial Reviews

The notes Schubert left for his Tenth Symphony are so sketchy they don't sound convincing in reconstruction. Berio has used these sketches as the basis for a work that moves in and out of Schubert's style. It sounds like music written by Schubert's ghost, as he feels his personality and his contact with the real world slipping away. The result is surprisingly convincing and moving. Joachim's orchestration of Schubert's great Sonata for Piano Four Hands still serves its original purpose--to enable more people to hear this seldom-performed masterpiece. The orchestration sounds authentic. Both performances are lovingly Schubertian, and the recorded sound is gratifyingly realistic. This is a surprisingly compelling disc. --Leslie Gerber
