András Schiff, Beethoven Piano Sonatas, Volume II, op. 10 and 13 (ECM). If you are a jazz listener who doesn’t cotton to what is often categorized as “classical” music, you have my sympathy because you won’t be hearing this brilliant pianist in the second CD of his projected series of the Beethoven sonatas. Consider relenting. Even you can probably relate to the c-minor, the famous “Pathetique,” but Schiff’s magic with the slow movement of the D-major could just convert you entirely. Lucky you. Schiff is one of the supreme pianists of his generation. His first two volumes of the sonatas suggest that his complete set will rank with Richard Goode’s among his contemporaries and Arthur Schnabel’s among his predecessors. Aside: I can’t help wondering if the classically-canny Bill Evans had the first movement of the D-major in mind when he wrote “Waltz for Debby.”
