Product Description: Barry Douglas’s acclaimed survey of Schubert’s piano sonatas continues with this programme pairing the Sonata in E flat major, D 568 with the Sonata in G major, D 894. Published posthumously, the E flat major Sonata is a revision and completion of the D flat major Sonata, D 567. The original was written in June 1817, the revision soon afterwards. This sonata stands out in the canon for its light-hearted, easy-going character in contrast to the more serious nature of the other sonatas. The G major Sonata, the last to be published in Schubert’s lifetime, was completed in 1826. The work holds a special place for many pianists, including Imogen Cooper, Sviatoslav Richter, and Paul Lewis; the latter two have declared it their favourite, whilst Robert Schumann described it as ‘the most perfect in form and conception’ of any of Schubert’s sonatas. Douglas completes his programme with two Liszt transcriptions of Schubert songs: ‘Gretchen am Spinnrade’, and ‘Wohin?’ (from Die schöne Müllerin).
