Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Klaviersonate Nr. 20 in A-Dur, D959

Radu Lupu präsentierte ein reines Schubert-Programm wie erwartet in einer gereiften, abgeklärten, subtilen Interpretation: Lupus Stil beeindruckte trotz kleiner Unzulänglichkeiten.

From Schubert and Schumann to Liszt, Arcadi Volodos makes a triumphant return to London's Barbican. 

Stepping in to replace Stephen Kovacevich, Jonathan Biss’ Schubert alternates between insight and impatience.

Arcadi Volodos ofreció un recital inconmensurable desde la sencillez y familiaridad que dan la madurez de un pianista técnicamente brillante y de una gran sensibilidad.

Dans un récital consacré à Schubert et Liszt, le pianiste tire des sonorités irréelles de son instrument, mais parfois au détriment du discours musical du compositeur.

The British pianist reveals new ideas in the most familiar of music in this recital program, which concludes a multi-year return to Schubert's keyboard literature.

Retour sur les derniers récitals de l'édition 2024 du festival, qui symbolisaient l'esprit d'une manifestation restée fidèle à ses principes.

Du fameux trio de Beethoven aux lieder et aux sonates de Schubert, le premier week-end du Festival de la Grange de Meslay a proposé un cheminement admirable dans un répertoire en clair-obscur.

Le petit festival de piano organisé par Vanessa Wagner dans le bel auditorium en bois clair du Musée des impressionnismes de Giverny a mis à l'honneur quatre pianistes remarquables.

Dans Chopin comme dans Schubert, le pianiste a impressionné par ses capacités nous poussant jusqu'à des hallucinations auditives.

Once decried as “dangerously introspective”, Schubert's Piano Sonata D.959 is now seen as one of his masterpieces. Eric Lu shows how he is completely on the composer's wavelength in this compelling performance.

Loin de tous clichés affiliés respectivement à Bach et à Schubert, l’interprétation de Helmchen, habitée, sait faire résonner l’un chez l’autre. Tout en apposant sa signature aux pages visitées.

Les trois dernières sonates de Schubert, merveilles du répertoire pianistique écrites par un compositeur à la cime de son inspiration. Retour sur le récital donné par Adam Laloum au Théâtre des Champs-Élysées. 

Enigmatic and uncanny piano music from Schubert in an intense recital at the Royal Festival Hall. 

Schumann et Tchaïkovski étaient annoncés. Ce sera Schubert, vieux compagnon auquel il n'avait pas consacré tout un récital, à Paris, depuis si longtemps, qui sera au programme.

Con una trayectoria deslumbrante a sus espaldas, Radu Lupu mantiene su actividad internacional colaborando con las mayores orquestas del mundo y ofreciendo recitales en los escenarios más prestigiosos. Sin embargo, su figura se halla despojada de todo alarde o exageración. Lupu, que no concede entrevistas ni necesita alimentar ningún aura mediática -por lo demás, sobradamente consagrada-, se preocupa únicamente de interpretar.

Understated mastery in Peter Donohoe’s recital of Scriabin, Ravel, Schumann, Mozart and Schubert in Hall One Sage Gateshead.

La actuación que reseñamos se condensa en algo muy sencillo, pero a la vez extremadamente complicado de enunciar mediante la crónica al uso: Schubert, el público y Volodos hicieron música. 

With thought-inspiring programming, Schiff played the penultimate sonatas of Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, and Schubert.

Sir András Schiff is traversing the final three piano sonatas of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert in concerts which celebrate the sonata form and explore the notion of "late style" in relation to these composers.

Sir András Schiff delivers deeply profound performances of the final piano sonatas of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert.

Schubert’s last three piano sonatas, published posthumously in 1839, were brought to new life with thrilling intensity and a sense of authority by one of Britain’s most self-effacing recitalists.

An effective Bach, a disappointing Brahms and a generally satisfactory Schubert: Kovacevich fails to grip in Dublin. 

Schubert cycles are in the air: earlier this month pianist James Lisney’s wide-ranging ‘Schubertreise’ series reached its journey’s end at London’s Purcell Room, and on Saturday evening Imogen Cooper concluded her own survey of Schubert’s piano sonatas with a performance of the last three sonatas to a packed, attentive and highly appreciative Wigmore Hall audience.

For a performer with a reputation for intelligent, thought-provoking programming, this looked rather an odd selection of works. The first half of this Wigmore Hall recital featured three pieces Inon Barnatan recorded on his 2012 CD Darknesse Visible, charting works based on other works; Debussy on Verlaine, Stevenson on Britten, and Ravel on Poe.

Paul Lewis’ current tour constitutes the final instalment of his Schubert cycle. As is the fashion, largely following Artur Schnabel and more recently Alfred Brendel, Lewis plays the last three sonatas as a trilogy, with the D.958 and D.959 played before the interval and the D.960 afterwards.

If your ears happen to frequent the frequencies of the BBC’s classical music radio station, it’s highly possible that you’ll have been swamped by piano music this monsoon season. Piano notes have poured down upon us, flooding the airwaves with this extraordinary instrument’s capacity to evoke everything from orchestras to ocarinas, from tempestuousness to tranquillity, from Moonlight to Raindrops.
