Required set…

Don’t even think about it…this is a desert island set…IF you value Classical/Romantic piano music. Lupu’s Schubert belongs next to your Beethoven set by Schnabel…by the way, don’t waste your money on any other of the Schnabel’s but the new one remastered by PristineClassical…the hundred dollars or so is worth every penny. Back to Lupu’s…this is music to treasure…even you you like some of the others…THIS set belongs in your regular listening rotation…
