Brendel’s opening phrase of the Symphonic Etudes is immediately individual, and yet in essence these 1960’s readings are not wayward, even though strongly personalised. There are other ways of approaching Schumann, but in Brendel’s hands the structure emerges anew, and has the emotional grip one associates with Beethoven. Excellent recordings to match the playing
