At times you might wish for likeminded abandon and big dynamic contrasts throughout Schubert's Wanderer Fantasy, yet there's much to savor in Nel's crisp and clean pianism. I especially like his terse, headlong, and sparely pedaled treatment of the Adagio, and how his light touch keeps the difficult Allegro airborne and unclotted. In sum, this is a solid and often stimulating release from a pianist who records all too little.
