About

Franz Schubert’s fragmentary and unfinished piano sonatas come from the period between 1815 and 1823. They are among his most innovative and puzzling works surviving, as it were, as experiments in composition while offering a fascinating insight into the composer’s creative process. 
 
This disc starts with Schubert’s very first sonata, continues with three fragments of sonatas remaining from his middle period, and ends with his last sonata fragment, an outstanding and progressive work that looks forward to the expressive world of Beethoven and Bruckner. 
 
Wallisch's solid technique and sound musicianship operate on a high level…Highly recommended for Schubertians of every stripe.” ClassicsToday on Gottlieb Wallisch’s first recording of Schubert fragmentary Sonatas, available on Naxos 8557189
 
Wallisch's performance demonstrates his complete musical empathy with Schubert. He plays with a light, sparkling touch and singing melodies, following Schubert's markings faithfully, with tasteful and unexaggerated expression.” Fanfare on Naxos 8557639
