Overview:
Schubert Piano Sonatas – Klaviersonaten, Volume 1 features the renowned Hungarian pianist András Schiff performing three of Franz Schubert's most beloved piano sonatas. With his sensitive interpretation and refined technique, Schiff brings out the depth and beauty of Schubert’s compositions.
The album includes the Sonata in C Major, D840, with its lyrical "Moderato" opening and the beautifully introspective "Andante"; the Sonata in A Minor, D845, whose "Scherzo: Allegro Vivace" offers an exuberant contrast to the more somber "Andante, Poco Mosso"; and the Sonata in F Sharp Minor, D571, where Schubert's trademark blend of complexity and simplicity shines through.
Schiff’s artistry is complemented by the exceptional production values, with engineering by John Pellowe and insightful liner notes by Schiff and Misha Donat, making this album a true gem for classical music enthusiasts.
