Sonata 960

Dina Ugorskaja counts as one of the most distinctive artists of the classical piano scene. She writes of this new release: "Schubert and his "heavenly lengths" have accompanied me throughout my entire life. In this music, time occasionally seems to stand still: the state of lingering and resting seems to predominate above all others. We are overwhelmed with unbearable pain, with abysses of despair and hopelessness. How can it be that the confrontation with death - so immediately present in this music - dissolves all of a sudden into a floating, ethereal impermanence? Unexpected joy emerges, as if we were hearing the laughing of a child."
