Info zu Schubert: Impromptus D. 899 & D. 935

After Bach’s Toccatas, the French pianist Amandine Savary offers a fascinating interpretation of Schubert’s two cycles of Impromptus, superb, stylistically free works that are finely contrasted as regards structure, tempo, duration and character. The musical sweep Schubert gives these pieces - associating his name for posterity to that of this new form - enables her to go beyond virtuosity to breathe into them intense, sustained passion with at times unleashed violence.
