Piano Sonata in E-Flat Major, Hob. XVI:52: III. Finale. Presto Joseph Haydn, Alfred Brendel · Haydn: 11 Piano Sonatas · Song · 1986

Ps. How could I forget his Haydn. I imagine the two will have lots of fun together in the afterlife. Here is Brendel with the last movement of Haydn‘s last Sonata: open.spotify.com/track/0VGBXr...

Beethoven: Für Elise; Eroica Variations, Op.35; 6 Bagatelles Op.126; 6 Ecossaises Ludwig van Beethoven · Album · 1985 · 28 songs

I‘ll end with his Beethoven. The Eroica variations represent everything that was so great about Brendel the pianist: virtuosity, wisdom, esprit, and cheeky humour. May he rest in peace. open.spotify.com/album/2rg0bZ...

Piano Sonata No. 21 in B flat, D.960: 1. Molto moderato Franz Schubert, Alfred Brendel · Schubert: Piano Sonata in flat, D.960/ "Wanderer" Fantasie, D.760 · Song · 1989

But his Schubert also kicked ass. He wasn‘t a fan of over-romanticizing Schubert, so he played him devastatingly dry, which made the chromatic changes even more haunting, like with the 960, Schubert’s last Sonata open.spotify.com/track/3nSbLf...

Piano Concerto No. 15 in B-Flat Major, K. 450: III. Allegro Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Alfred Brendel, Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, Sir Neville Marriner · Brendel plays Mozart · Song · 2021

Having moved to London, he made some reference concert records with his friend Sir Neville Marriner and the great Academy of St Martin in the Fields, like this sublime KV 450 open.spotify.com/track/3rS2UP...

Piano Sonata No. 15 in F Major, K. 533/494: 3. Rondo. Allegretto, K. 494 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Alfred Brendel · Brendel spielt Mozart · Song · 2016

But the older, more pensive Brendel was also a melodic force to behold. Here the tender and melancholy Rondo KV 494 open.spotify.com/track/7ud7rN...

Sonata for two pianos KV448 in D Major, Allegro con spirito Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Alfred Brendel, Walter Klien, Paul Angerer, Orchester der Wiener Staatsoper · Brendel - Complete Early Mozart Recordings · Song · 2010

What follows, in honour of his legacy, are, in no particular order, some of my favourite records. Some people tend the young Brendel was the best Brendel, so let‘s start with this youthful and energetic KV 448 with Walter Klien: open.spotify.com/track/0Mwt7W...

Celebrated pianist and writer Alfred Brendel dies aged 94 Widely regarded as the ‘musicians’ musician’ Brendel was the first pianist to record all of Beethoven’s piano works during a much-garlanded career spanning 60 years
