Franz Schubert was deeply attached to the piano! You can sense this when
you hear Robert Franz' magnificent transcription of Schubert's quartet Death and the Maiden,
with which the Duo Lontano (Babette Hierholzer and Jürgen Appell) open
their second GENUIN CD. In a recording that exclusively features
Schubert’s music, the structures and the relentlessness of the work are
mercilessly and yet beautifully sculpted in all their grandeur. Suddenly
the quartet is very similar to the great F minor Fantasy, while the
Notturno, originally for piano trio, is given a new sense of levitation.
A great ensemble, two wonderful pianists, three summits of chamber
music!Franz Schubert was deeply attached to the piano! You can sense this when
