Extractions: Avec maestria, il a apport la preuve que le prlude en ut dise mineur de Rachmaninov n'tait pas un chef d'uvre mais rien qu'un..... - halte ! vous-entends-je crier, impossible qu'il soit question d'Alfred Brendel, le seul, le vrai, qui ne joue que du Beethoven, du Mozart et du Schubert, la rigueur du Liszt ou des compositeurs de ce genre ! Je vous rassure tout de suite : le fameux concert est bien sr une vue de l'esprit, mais reconnaissez qu'un tel programme excut par ce pianiste-l en aurait dconcert plus d'un. Est-ce vraiment si invraisemblable ? Brendel est-il tenu de se cantonner ces classiques ? Le public ne serait-il pas prt accepter qu'il tende son rpertoire ? Si l'on se remmore les dbuts de sa carrire, on serait bien tent de le croire : un jeune pianiste obscur s'attaque l'uvre pour piano de Liszt, et, par-dessus le march, aux sonates d'un certain Schubert dans une salle de concert, on croyait rver ! Ce genre de performance semblait rserv un Artur Schnabel, qui osait consacrer une soire entire Schubert, rejouant mme, en seconde partie, les mmes sonates et morceaux ; mais Schnabel tait dj d'un ge certain, on le lui " pardonnait " volontiers.

B Brendel follows in the line of Schnabel and Fischer as a cerebral pianist rather than one whose playing is based solely on his emotions; but he takes this idea further, causing some critics to complain of a lack of tone, colour and emotional depth. He is, without doubt, an intelligent musician whose wit and humour is apparent in his writings Musical Thoughts and Afterthoughts (1976) and Music Sounded Out (1990).
