舒伯特，全名弗朗茨·泽拉菲库斯·彼得·舒伯特（Franz Seraphicus Peter Schubert，1797年1月31日－1828年11月19日）,奥地利作曲家，出生于维也纳郊外的教师家庭。自幼随父兄学习小提琴和钢琴，少年时即显示出他在音乐创作上的特殊才能。舒伯特的一生是在贫困中度过的，艰难的生活使他过早地离开人世。然而，舒伯特却为人类留下了大量的不朽名作。他是早期浪漫主义音乐的代表人物，也被认为是古典主义音乐的最后一位巨匠。

录制於伦敦的现场音乐会，重头曲目是舒伯特的最後一部钢琴奏鸣曲(Sonata in B flat major, D. 960) 。另外，兰德勒(Ländler)、华尔兹(Walzer)、日耳曼/德意志舞(Deutsch Tänze)等钢琴小品亦属独具匠心的安排，提醒人们注意舒伯特音乐——即使是临别此世前的天鹅之歌——中的轻灵、悠然特质(用傅聪的话来说，即“陶渊明特质”)。

Longtime fans of the pianistic genius of Claudio Arrau will no doubt already have his transcendent performances of Schubert's sonatas, impromptus, Moments musicaux, and Klavierstücke that he recorded for Philips in the early '80s and they will already have imbibed deeply and at length of their imponderable sublimity. Listeners coming to the recordings for the first time may wonder what it is his fans hear in these immensely slow and enormously deliberate performances. And make no mistake, Arrau's performances are immensely, incredibly, draggingly slow with Allegros sounding like Andantes and Andantes sounding like Adagios and enormously, unbelievably, ponderously deliberate with huge pauses and vast hesitations. But make no mistake, Arrau's performances are also incontestably transcendent. With the soul of a poet in his heart and the experience of a lifetime in his mind, Arrau finds depths in Schubert's music that few other pianists suspect even exist and expresses them with a honesty and humanity that are wholly compelling. Still, even longtime fans will have to admit that the bonus disc of previously unissued mid-'50s recordings of Arrau performing the Klavierstücke, the "Wanderer" Fantasy, and three Moments Musicaux are not only wonderfully impressive in their own right, but also a tremendous relief after so many profoundly slow performances. Philips' early-'80s sound was so vivid that one can at times hear the pianist's knuckles crack.
