Talk:Alfred Brendel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Chopin Polonaises
Highly praised? Not according to many reviews I've seen, including some posted on Amazon. Brendel himself has admitted dissatisfaction with them (in Reflections from the Keyboard by David Dubal). The "highly praised" part needs to be attributed or it will be removed.THD3 23:37, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] MOZART INTERPRETER?
Brendel is better known for recording Haydn(who doesn't get a mention for some reason). He eschewed the Mozart sonatas until very recently when he made the declaration that he had underestimated them for many years. So it is hard to see how he can be an acclaimed interpreter of those works. BD
