Description:

As expected, and even more interesting than expected - the first in a series that is fully booked! Irina Meduyeva's long-awaited Schubert series has begun with a recording of Beethoven's complete piano sonatas from 2007 to 2009, followed by a series of releases of Chopin's major works, including "Nocturnes," which won the 2010 Record Academy Award in the instrumental music category. The Russian-born virtuoso, who has continued to record brilliantly, has finally begun to record Schubert's works. The first recording, which Schumann praised as "perfect in form and spirit," is a combination of two sonatas in G major (D894) and C minor (D958), Schumann's late masterpiece, as well as the "Four Improvisations" (D899) and the "Allegretto" (D915). (D915) - is as interesting as one would expect, or even more so than one would expect. The music is delicate, graceful, and full of joy, not to mention the shadows of desolation and death, which is another element of Schubert's music. The thickness of the line supported by the solid modeling and the exquisite expression using a thousand million different touches are all in one, making this a formidable Schubert. This is the first in a series of highly anticipated sequels.Every song here is a masterpiece, a deeply satisfying piece of music." (Masatoshi Kameda, from the liner notes) Wakabayashi Kobo
