"Sie will das Neue, Frische, Unverbrauchte – und scheut das Wagnis nicht. Ein Muss im CD-Regal." (Piano News)
Two principal works of Schubert’s piano music, two solutions for the great form. They appear as contrary poles: energetic, resolute and boastful in the case of the Wanderer Fantasy whereas the final piano sonata is restrained, elusive and at times faltering. The common elements are in the slow movements. No other Romantic addressed so radically what is brought into focus here: the notion of time. In the Wanderer Fantasy it is reflected as rhythm, as “measured time”. The sonata questions the course of time itself, the elementary medium of life in music. In her interpretation, Hideyo Harada elucidates the contrasts as well as the common undercurrent which forms a link between the works.
