he loses none of the lyricism; if anything, he's more "romantic." This is one of music's strange characteristics: Fischer usually is a Schnabel-type interpreter though his mentor, Brendel, I hardly think of in that way.
BTW, Fischer's interpretation of Schubert's Wanderer, since others brought up that piece, similarly is spectacular.
