    Do you think Schubert had any inkling or vision of how the sustain pedal might function for posterity?

  • I feel like the Schiff performance allows this amazing piece to resemble lieder; a beautiful lyrical line with a very present and supportive accompaniment  that is a different instrument. From Op 90 I find no.1 and no.3 have the quality of lied and the Broadman performance really reveal this..to me
