 The Art of Egon Petri [JW]: Classical CD Reviews- June 2003 MusicWeb(UK)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Petri was a musician of the utmost clarity, distinction and directness with a technique remarkable even into old age and whose conception of space and tonal value gave him a persuasive insight into music of intellect and weight.
Petri was seventy-eight when these performances were taped so maybe that has something to do with it but whilst there are tonally delightful glints in the opening Allegro of the Sonata it sounds as if, like a mathematician, Petri were actively breaking the movement — and indeed the work as a whole — into units.
Here Petri is very direct, almost casual, but as the movement advances and his architectural priorities become clearer we are aware of a mind of illuminating integrity at work.

These Beethoven performances stem from a privately recorded recital with pianist Egon Petri taped in July, 1954.
Though ill health had forced the elderly pianist to reduce concertizing during his last years, Petri's big, natural technique remained largely intact, together with his direct, heartfelt musicianship.
The "Les Adieux" sonata, I believe, appears for the first time, while Beethoven's last three sonatas were previously issued on a Dell 'Arte LP and as part of Music and Arts' four-CD "The Art of Egon Petri" compilation.

The quiet Egon Petri, always lyric, combinded with transcendental vituosity takes us through a tour of recordings we are not sure he would have approved of as far as their release.
Perhaps Petri was not aware that there would be a whole generation of listeners waiting for the release of anything available enlightening them to the master's art.
With this CD, after numerous listenings and strict critical reaction, I would be willing to place the Brahms Variations on a buffet against any other interpretation.
