Franz Schubert’s Sonata in A major d 959, next to the famous last Sonata d 960, is one of the most enigmatic works of this wonderful artist. Each of its movements, seemingly full of simplicity and numerous references to the classical order, is characterized by a huge expressive individualism, which is a real challenge for the pianist. In turn, Impromptus d 899 are compositions that may not be so enigmatic and mysterious, but at the same time they are full of melodic beauty typical of Schubert. Irina Chukovskaya’s new album, devoted entirely to Schubert’s music, is a great opportunity to discover the talent of this, little known in Poland, great representative of the Russian Piano School.
