This will be an immersive trip into the fascinating world of Schubert’s piano music. As he was not a virtuoso soloist himself, his piano music remained obscure and was long neglected, but its power goes beyond any description. From the profound spirituality of the final B-flat major Sonata, to the devilish acrobatics of the Wanderer Fantasy, Schubert spans the entire gamut of the piano expressivity. His music grabs the heart of the listener, lifts it to the higher most spheres or throws it into the darkest abyss. A journey as tumultuous as life itself.
