Even at a very advanced age, the great pianist Paul Badura-Skoda is always good for a surprise: His new CD recording with GENUIN is perhaps one of the most unusual recordings, one of the most daring tonal experiments seen in recent years. Schubert’s final sonata, the wonderful B-flat major, has been recorded by Badura-Skoda, but not just once: It is heard on three different instruments in interpretations which could not be more distinctive from one another: On an 1826 Graf fortepiano (from when the work was composed), a 1923 Bösendorfer and a 2004 Steinway grand. More history and more vibrancy in its presentation could not be packed into a single disc. Superb!
Examiner
"Austrian pianist Paul Badura-Skoda, born October 6, 1927, has established himself as one of the best-informed interpreters of the piano literature, not only for the precision and clarity of his execution but also for understanding emerging from scholarship of impressive quality."

"It´s a unique project, ... certainly worthwhile for anyone deeply immersed in Schubert, or in Badura-Skoda´s recordings."

Baker & Taylor CD Hotlist
"He believes that each of the three instruments reveals a different set of musical facets in the piece–and he’s right. This is an essential purchase for any library supporting keyboard pedagogy."
