Brendel. I find him to be sloppy and uninvolving. I saw him play Beethoven sonatas in a recital and it was the single worst performance I have ever seen at a major concert hall. During the Appassionata I had the urge to stand up and ask if he knew what the name of the sonata was and if he understood what it meant.
Schnabel. IMO he gained fame for being the first to do the Beethoven sonata cycle. That's nice but a lot better recordings have followed in the past 100 years. His playing is painfully sloppy (worse than Brendel by far) His phrasing is IMO stilted. Honestly I find nothing at all to like about his playing. It is interesting from an historical context as is a Model T is for cars. But neither are any good by today's standards.
Let the mud fly....
