Classics Today:
Schnabel is captured on his finest, loftiest form, both musically and pianistically. Listen, for instance, to his ravishing, pearly scale passages and intense, heavenly trills in the slow movements, or to the incredible vitality and brio that he brings to both concertos' outer movements. The latter abound with meaningful accents, red-blooded dynamic surges, and harmonically oriented phrasing (for example, the slight rhythmic displacements in the G major concerto's first-movement development).
The orchestra is well recorded for the era, and Malcolm Sargent's energetic, sturdy accompaniments belie any notions of him as a mere timebeater. If anything, he provides a more pointed and shapely orchestral framework for Schnabel than he did for either Mark Hambourg or Benno Moiseiwitsch in their respective recordings of the Third Concerto.. - Jed Distler
