Info for Franz Schubert (Remastered)



La Sonata in B flat, D. 960 is the last and, without doubt, the most important of Schubert's three post-humous sonatas. The surviving manuscript provides the exact date of the completion of the Sonata, September 26th, 1828. Less than two months later, on November 19th, Schubert was to conclude his brief days on earth. He intended to dedicate these last works to the celebrated virtuoso, J.N. Hummel. However, ten years later, when the Sonatas finally came to light, Hummel had also passed on to a better life. So Diabelli, at his own initiative, dedicated them to Schumann who, to his credit, had always believed in Schubert's genius and had followed the fortunes of his work (it was in fact Schumann to discover the manuscript of Schubert'sSymphony in C major). ...

Nikita Magaloff, piano

Nikita Magaloff
(1912-1992) was a Georgian-Russian pianist. He was best known for his espousal of the music of Chopin, and was accustomed to perform the complete piano works in series of six recitals. He was the first one to ever record the completed works. These recordings were innovative for their textual fidelity and unsentimentality. His interpretations of Mendelssohn are also striking, finding a vein of melancholy that is often missed.

His playing, however, underwent a change in his later years, becoming more passionate, daring and challenging. He remarked in an interview that, "at the age of seventy, I have come to the conclusion that only the sentiment and fear of death can induce an immoderate passion for life." His last recordings bear eloquent tribute to this "immoderate passion for life.”
