Brilliant Brendel 19 Nov 2009
Format:Audio CD
For people like me who have followed the career and recordings of Alfred Brendel, this is a wonderful souvenir of his last concerts. Most of us will have been unable to attend them, of course, but the recording speaks for itself. This was a great occasion of a great artist wisely retiring from concert giving while he still had plenty to offer. The performances are spellbinding - just listen to the Schubert - and are full of the joy of music making. You have to put up with many incidental noises from Brendel as he hums along Glenn Gould style, but so what? This is hors concours and a great final memorial to a great artist.

While the Concert Hall sound quality is a little below studio recording level, Alfred Brendel's artistry seems undiminished, compared with recordings made nearly 40 years ago. It is wise to quit before the ability fades, as he has chosen to do.

Sir Charles Mackerras, who conducts, is equally indestructible. We saw him recently in a sparkling performance with the Liverpool Phil(our local heroes). On these two recordings, he and the Vienna Philharmonika complement Brendel beautifully, as we hoped they would.

These were obviously very happy occasions and a wonderful way of bowing out for a great artist whilst still very much at the top of his game. It is also a very happy memory for me as I was privileged to attend his "rehearsal concerts" for these final concerts, with identical programmes, in the church at Chipping Campden. The Haydn, Beethoven and even the final Bach are all fine performances but, as ever, it is when Alfred turns his attention to Mozart - have the slow movements of the late sonata or of the first great concerto ever been better played? - and the sublime Schubert B flat Sonata and Impromptu that the playing reaches greatness. We shall miss you, Alfred, but this will be a wonderful memento.
