Me too:
Franz Schubert – Sonata for Piano in A major D.664 Op.120, Fantasy for Piano in C major D.760 Op.15 "Wanderer"

— Sviatoslav Richter (piano) (EMI Classics)

 

 

 

After hearing Leonskaja  playing Schubert, had an urge to hear Richter doing the same.

Great to have these two near by to compare - (IMO) both having distinct valid views on Schubert .... as do have others like Arrau, Betz, Afanassiev, Goode, Lupu, ....

[alankin]

It was nice to hear both.

[soulpope]

Needed another taste of Schubert .... :

[A Lark Ascending]

Bartok - SQ5 and Concerto for Orchestra

Schoenberg - Suite Op. 29; Chamber Symphony 1 (Webern cut down arrangement)

 

[soulpope]

As good as it gets ....

[six string]

Ivan Moravec - Chopin 24 Preludes Ballads in F minor (Supraphone) 

There's something about Moravec's touch that I really like.  He really knows how to draw the notes out of a piano.
