COMPOSERS: Schubert/Liszt
LABELS: Meridian
WORKS: Transcriptions of songs from Die schöne Müllerin & Schwanengesang
PERFORMER: Antony Peebles (piano)
CATALOGUE NO: CDE 84422
Peebles’s Schubert-Liszt has fine features – broad phrasing, sure sense of scale and pace – and lacks only richness of sonority, particularly at climaxes, and the serene lyricism that a Bolet could bring to this repertoire. No details are given of the interestingly clangorous instrument used. Max Loppert
