Classical Stars: Paul Lewis Schubert Cycle IV

Schubert Piano Sonata No 19 in C minor D958 Schubert Piano Sonata No 20 in A major D959 Schubert Piano Sonata No 21 in B flat major D960

Paul Lewis concludes his multi-year survey of Schubert with the last three massive piano sonatas. This music transcends time and reaches ineffable depths of expressions with which very little music can compare. There is no finer exponent of this music than Paul Lewis

‘Such is his commitment to Schubert that his sonatas could almost have been written with his temperament in mind. In his attention to detail, the light and shade and delicate pauses that characterise his playing, one might sense some divine inspiration coursing through his fingers.’ Bachtrack
