Info for Schubert Piano Sonatas, D. 537, 568 & 664

Paul Lewis schließt seine vor fast zwanzig Jahren begonnene Erkundung von Schuberts Sonaten mit drei frühen Meisterwerken ab. Die Sonaten D 537 und D 568 zeigen den Wagemut und die Frische ihres jugendlichen Schöpfers, während er mit D 664, das durch seinen kunstlosen Charme besticht, bereits ein Fenster zu neuen musikalischen Horizonten öffnet.

Paul Lewis, Klavier
