Schubert: Moments musicaux; Piano Sonata in A major D.959 (CD)

After dazzling performances of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Messiaen’s ‘Turangalîla’ Symphony at the 2024 BBC Proms, Steven Osborne offers reflective, mature Schubert – including the beloved ‘Moments musicaux’. In his 25+ years recording for Hyperion, Steven Osborne’s 35 releases have won two Gramophone Awards, three Preise der deutschen Schallplattenkritik and a clutch of Recordings of the Year from national and international press. The A-major Sonata, D.959, is the mightiest of the piano works from the final year of Schubert’s short yet prodigious life.
