Schnabel's Beethoven

SAVE 10% on Schnabel's Beethoven Sonatas!
"Pristine has surpassed its predecessors. The sound quality made me think that the performances had been bundled into a time machine and sent into the mono Fifties -- no static, no hiss, no overbearing treble, and much truer to the live sound. Indeed, it made me rethink my conception of Schnabel." - CLASSICAL CD REVIEW
