Andras Schiff: Plays Schubert (1991)

In this new release from the Metropolitan Munich series from EuroArts video, also part of the "Recorded Excellence" line of historically significant performances, Andres Schiff, Yuuko Shiokawa and Mikles Perenyi play the Schubert Piano Trios with energy and sensitivity, bringing out all the contrasts and subtle shades of this joyful work. The final piece on this video production features the less well-known 'Arpeggione' Sonata, given here in it's arrangement for the cello. This work possesses Schubert's characteristic mixture of cheerful vigor and wistful melancholy, and is performed by Schiff and Perenyi with imagination and elegance.
