About

The heavenly lengths of Schubert’s last piano sonata and second set of impromptus: Marc-André Hamelin captures the other-worldliness of these sublime, quintessentially ‘late’ works as do few other pianists.

Reviews

This is spacious Schubert, secure, august and unrushed. Throughout this vividly characterised B flat Sonata, many heart-gripping moments seem tinged with the nostalgia of leave-taking, though free of bitterness or self-pity. These are counterbalanced by stretches of buoyant joy and unalloyed serenity. In all the variety of Hamelin’s generally relaxed tempos, the musical thread lives and breathes, albeit cooled from time to time with what seems an almost existential loneliness. ... Hamelin’s thoughtful originality, supported by his fully realised execution and sincerity of purpose, makes his contribution a worthy complement to them all. Very highly recommended.  Patrick Rucker
