Schubert’s extraordinary late piano sonatas were written at the very end of his life. These timeless masterpieces carry an almost bewildering range of emotions from sunlight to tragedy, from optimism to wistful resignation.

Steven Osborne, one of the foremost pianists of his generation is also regarded as one of the finest Schubert pianists of today and this programme promises to be very special indeed.

‘His grasp of Schubert’s scale and ebullience means this is among the finest recordings of one of the composer’s final sonatas.’
