"...his [Schnabel's] musical conduct is impeccable: his rhythm alive as fire, his line ringingly clear, his articulation acute but unfussy, his ability to convey a work's formal plasticity unrivalled."
The Sunday Times, 12/10/03
"There is no more richly satisfying performance of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata than that by Arthur Schnabel...Mark Obert-Thorn's re-mastering of Schnabel Beethoven's cycle which has now reached Vol 5, is a miracle of restoration...Again, Schnabel's gift for pacing, the way he integrates the episodic flourishes into the whole, reveals the genius of Beethoven's design."
-- Damian Thompson, The Daily Telegraph, January 10, 2004
