About

Brendel's approach, at first more highly-strung, and at the end, more austere, is on the whole more penetrating.....I also admired Brendel's intellectual grasp of the work, i.e. the way he clarifies the theme's contribution to the actual fabric of each variation. Nor does any contrapuntal ingenuity ever go unnoticed. The grave, classical beauty of his playing here is very moving.” - Gramophone

The simplicity of Beethoven’s Variations on God Save the King is disarming, and Rule Britannia is also without rhetoric.  Brendel plays them eloquently, with the proper unforced manner. Hs approach is stronger on some .....Brendel’s natural, spontaneous manner brings out many felicities and the playing is never merely matter-of-fact. The bright recordings have fine presence.” - Penguin Guide
