Description
An inspired pairing of Schubert's first completed piano sonata with one of the sublimely expansive masterpieces from his final year.
Garrick Ohlsson delivers rather special results.
"The fluidity and poetry of Ohlsson's playing are a joy. […] this new release of two piano sonatas spanning Schubert's entire output in the genre is a fine achievement." – MusicWeb International
"His [Ohlsson] articulation is never less than precise, his fingers always nimble, emphasising the horizontal lines of the music." – BBC Music Magazine
"Garrick Ohlsson approaches both sonatas with a high sense of drama. This is big-boned pianism that rarely lacks immediacy or drive" – Gramophone
"in the great A major Sonata he [Ohlsson] brings an unwavering weight and authority to the agonised outburst at the heart of the Andantino and a touch of wistfulness to the Scherzo. […] Hyperion's sound is immaculate." – International Piano
Brahms CDA68334:
"Not for a moment did I feel I was in anything but the safest of Brahmsian hands.......I would welcome this disc into my library with open arms." - Gramophone
Elgar CDA68295: "With excellent recording quality throughout, this is in every respect an outstanding disc." - BBC Music Magazine
