About the album

Anne-Marie McDermott continues to garner praise for her recordings. Gramophone writes that, "we have waited a long time for an American pianist of this stature," and Fanfare raves, "In a lifetime of listening, this, hands down, is the finest recording of Mozart piano concertos I've ever heard." McDermott's superb new solo album features two of Schubert's immortal masterpieces, the fiendishly difficult Sonata in D, D. 850, and the heavenly B-flat Sonata, D. 960.
Anne-Marie McDermott erntet weiterhin viel Lob für ihre Aufnahmen. Gramophone schreibt, dass "wir lange auf eine amerikanische Pianistin dieses Formats gewartet haben", und Fanfare schwärmt: "In einem Leben des Hörens ist dies zweifellos die beste Aufnahme von Mozart-Klavierkonzerten, die ich je gehört habe." McDermotts großartiges neues Soloalbum enthält zwei von Schuberts unsterblichen Meisterwerken, die unglaublich schwierige Sonate in D, D. 850, und die himmlische B-Sonate, D. 960.

Beginning with the 2011 season, she is also the Artistic Director of the Vail Valley Music Festival in Colorado. Anne-Marie has been an Artist Member of The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center since 1995. Ms. McDermott’s passions have recently coalesced in several important projects that are indicative both of her popularity and the range of her musical interests: the presentation of The Complete Prokoviev Piano Sonatas and Chamber Music as part of the Lincoln Center Festival; The Chamber Music of Shostakovich at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center ; the premiere of Charles Wuorinen’s Piano Sonata No. 6; and the performance and recording of Gershwin’s Complete Works for Piano and Orchestra with the Dallas Symphony (2008, Bridge Records). The latter was named Editor’s Choice by Gramophone.
About her critically acclaimed recording of the Complete Prokoviev Piano Sonatas (2009, Bridge Records), Gramophone wrote “we have waited a long time for an American pianist of this stature.”

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.
