Schubert (Piano Sonatas)

Iconic Deutsche Grammophon pianist and celebrated Schubert interpreter Maria Joao Pires returns to further explore the music of the quintessential romantic composer; deepening a musical relationship that has captivated critics and public alike throughout her career.

The Portugese pianist has not recorded either of these sonatas for DG before and this recording of the brooding and expansive Sonata no.16 in A minor is her first for any label

Piress recording of Schuberts Impromtus is a best-seller with sales exceeding 100,000 album units.

Both her DG debut recital and the acclaimed 1997 album, Voyage Magnifique, revealed Maria Joao Piress unique empathy with the clarity of gesture and melodic line in the solo music of Schubert and this new album, combining the rarely heard Sonata No.16 with one of the composers best-loved late works, adds to her acclaimed discography of the composer.

The prospect of this most elusive and magical of pianists [Daily Telegraph] turning her austere, intense keyboard sorcery [Bloomberg] to the contrasting emotions of the ethereal B flat Sonata and the tempestuous Sonata in A minor, is surely one all fans of truly great pianism will relish.
