Description:

[Among Schubert's Schubert works, this collection of improvisations is one of his most famous recordings, and is still regarded as one of the best recordings of Schubert's works, especially because it maximizes the poetic and lyrical qualities of his playing. D899 is characterized by its flowing melodic beauty, while D935 has a wonderful structure throughout all four pieces. This is a product for the "German Romanticism Discs" campaign. Recorded in Hamburg, June 1982
