Performer: Andreas Staier

Alexander Melnikov and Andreas Staier's sensitive and insightful performances, combined with the fortepiano's freshness and added edge, make for a special evening of Schubert.

In the first half of the 19th century, the piano was still very much a developing instrument, and the composers were often pushing its limits both mechanically and sonically. 

An evening entirely devoted to Schubert's four-hand piano music, with a glorious tandem of Andreas Staier and Alexander Melnikov.
