Sarah Walker presents highlights of this year’s Schubertiade, a celebration of Schubert’s music held in the Austrian village of Schwarzenberg, famed for its traditional rustic wooden houses. The concerts took place in the Angelika Kauffmann Hall, a handsome timber-framed building overlooking idyllic mountain pastures, whose exquisite acoustics and intimate atmosphere make it an ideal venue for Schubert’s chamber music.
Today’s programme features the Sonata in A minor, D821, originally written for the arpeggione, a short-lived cross between the guitar and the cello.
