András Schiff has made Schubert’s piano works the focus of his life’s work. “His music is the most human I know, the most personal,” he says, moved by the composer’s modesty and humility. He invites us to immerse ourselves in the four major collections for solo piano written by the composer in the months leading up to his death. Brilliant pieces, yet deeply intimate, often brought together because of their similarity in form and tone; miniatures of apparent spontaneity, yet with a fully mastered technique. András Schiff, who recorded them on a piano from the time period, brings out to perfection the vocal essence and poetry of these unspoken works.
