About the album

Voortreffelijke interpretaties van de mooiste werken voor piano a quatre mains
Dit is, voor zover het zeker is, de eerste opname van Schuberts belangrijkste werken voor piano à quatre mains uitgevoerd op een historisch instrument. Het programma bevat onder andere de ongeëvenaarde Fantasie in f klein en het net zo unieke Thema en Variaties in As groot.

Het instrument dat voor deze opnames gebruikt werd is een originele fortepiano uit circa 1825, gebouwd door Friedrich Hoxa in Wenen. Tegenwoordig is het prachtige instrument in het bezit van Edwin Beunk, die het hersteld heeft tot zijn topconditie.

In het licht van de nog altijd groeiende interesse in authentieke uitvoeringen op historische instrumenten in de oorspronkelijke uitvoeringspraktijk waarin de componisten de werken moeten hebben voorgesteld, is dit zonder twijfel een belangrijke uitgave en bijdrage aan de catalogus.

Alle historische en musicologische argumenten terzijde, het is ook een opname waar de luisteraar van kan genieten, en die hij kan koesteren vanwege de voortreffelijke interpretaties van enkele van de mooiste klavierwerken die ooit gecomponeerd zijn!

Composer(s)

Franz Schubert

Franz Peter Schubert was an Austrian composer. Schubert already died before his 32nd birthday, but was extremely prolific during his lifetime. His output consists of over six hundred secular vocal works (mainly Lieder), seven complete symphonies, sacred music, operas, incidental music and a large body of chamber and piano music. Appreciation of his music while he was alive was limited to a relatively small circle of admirers in Vienna, but interest in his work increased significantly in the decades following his death. Felix Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann, Franz Liszt, Johannes Brahms and other 19th-century composers discovered and championed his works. Today, Schubert is ranked among the greatest composers of the late Classical and early Romantic eras and is one of the...

Felix Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann, Franz Liszt, Johannes Brahms and other 19th-century composers discovered and championed his works. Today, Schubert is ranked among the greatest composers of the late Classical and early Romantic eras and is one of the most frequently performed composers of the early nineteenth century.
It was in the genre of the Lied that Schubert made his most indelible mark. Prior to Schubert's influence, Lieder tended toward a strophic, syllabic treatment of text, evoking the folksong qualities engendered by the stirrings of Romantic nationalism. Schubert expanded the potentialities of the genre like no other composer before.
