Synopsis

Album Description

"There was plenty of time for fireworks and, as it turned out, the wait wasn't long. After a Menuetto that was only slightly less reserved than the first movement, he played the closing Rondo Alla Turca at a breathless clip and with a breadth of dynamics that swept away any notion that his earlier restraint had been meant to evoke the relative delicacy of the fortepiano. This was modern pianism at full throttle, with Mozart in the headlights." -- New York Times, live performance review "Vogt's fingers never failed, and at the end we would happily have stayed silent for as long as he kept his hands poised, motionless, over the keys." -- The Independent, live performance review The world's saddest music is an eruption of emotions, profound thoughts, and tranquility. One of the world's musical cornerstones! An exceptional coupling of works composed within the last two months of Schubert's life.

CD Reviews

Angst Filled Late Schubert

Oldnslow | Seattle, Washington USA | 12/06/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"You have to go back to Richter to discover more dispair (and anger) in this last piano sonata, written when Schubert surely knew his days were short. Only an exceptional artist can sustain the great length of the first movement as presented here by Lars Vogt. This concentration is carried over to the other movments as well. Remarkable. The 3 Klavierstucke are similarly and successfully presented. Topped off with a recording of great presence and dynamic range, this is a recital not to be missed."
