WOW, FINALLY....THE SCHNABEL DANTE SET ON AMAZON!!! But who knows for how long?!!!!
(This review is slightly modified from the one I wrote for the EMI set).
I had the EMI set and was completely satisfied with it for the longest time, until I wanted more Schnabel playing Beethoven. I did some research on the net and found a set on ebay that not only contained the complete Sonatas but had all the Concertos, Variations and Bagatelles that Schnabel did!
Let me tell you again. THE COMPLETE SOLO PIANO AND CONCERTO RECORDINGS OF BEETHOVEN BY SCHNABEL!!!
This was too good to be true, so I went out on a limb and ordered it. When I got it, I was holding gold my friend! 14 CD's in a slim case boxed set!
Okay, so I'm happy eh, but now for the transfer test...I compared the EMI transfers to the transfers this French label called DANTE did. Absolutely unbelievable! I'm listening to the Dante versions and I hear clarity, volume and depth, and hardly any hiss! I put on the EMI versions and I hear large hiss, muffled clarity and hardly any piano depth from the recordings. I was astounded! I immediately sold the EMI. Now, I also noticed that in the EMI, they don't always give each movement its own track, they sometimes link 2 movements together in 1 track (weird). But in the Dante they give each movement its own track and present the sonatas in complete chronological order, whereas in the EMI the order of the sonatas are mixed up a bit (which doesn't matter anyway). But I'm just letting you know. The Pearl transfers are clearer but with much surface noise and are somewhat better than EMI, and the Naxos are not bad too, except for the full hiss. but these are all available as singles pretty much right now. If you invested in all of these, you'd wind up with no more room in your collection!
If you want "THE" Schnabel set, get this DANTE 14 CD slim box set. I paid full price though, but it's been the best purchase I ever made in my life! (I would still recommend the EMI set to anybody, just because it's Schnabel playing Beethoven).
ENJOY!
