Overview

Sir András Schiff presents his matureinterpretations of two of Schubert’s latesonatas.

The Piano Sonata in G D894, thelast to be published during its composer’slifetime, reflects the lightness of bliss tingedwith shades of darkness. Its characterideally prefigures the spiritual depths of thePiano Sonata in B flat D960, completedweeks before Schubert’s death.
