Schubert's last three sonatas

Recorded live at Wigmore Hall last month, Paul Lewis comes to the end of his acclaimed Schubert cycle with the final three sonatas.

Recorded live at Wigmore Hall last month, Paul Lewis comes to the end of his acclaimed Schubert cycle with the final three sonatas. It's deeply personal music, at once complex and nostalgic, fragile and unresolved, full of loss, hope and nostalgia. To play these sonatas together, says Lewis, 'is an incredible journey hard to resist.'

Martin Handley presents.

Schubert:
Piano Sonata in C minor, D 958
Piano Sonata in A, D 959
Piano Sonata in B flat, D960

Paul Lewis (piano)
