Yet no detail was too small to receive attention from this master, and as a result the playing here has humor, delicacy, and radiant humanity.

This is a serious-minded interpretation, but it is never strait-laced.

And although Schnabel's pianism bristles with excitement, it is meticulously faithful to Schubert's dynamic markings and phrase indications.

The piano performance on this Trout is one that really demands a search for superlatives.
