Music reviews of Schubert: Piano Sonata in B flat, D960; Lieder
Music Review: Power and poetry in Schubert's last piano sonata
Rating: 5 Stars
I took a friend to hear Leif Ove Andsnes play, who was interested because he was a good-looking guy in an Armani suit. Then she heard him play Schubert, and changed her tune. Andsnes manages to tap both the virtuosity that Schubert demands, and the sublime poetic elements as well. Schubert's last major piano work is a dark little number: the ominous low register trill, framed with silence, that keeps interrupting the progress of the otherwise genial theme in the first movement. (And am I the only one who hears an echo of "O Come All Ye Faithful" at the end of the first movement?) Andsnes is, to my ear, one of the most brilliant Schubert interpreters out there. But hey, don't just take my word for it. Last time he played in Chicago, I ran into Mitsuko Uchida in the lobby at intermission, and she couldn't say enough nice things about the Schubert sonata Leif had just played. (I have her recording of this work as well, and while she brings a delicate interiority to her performance, I still prefer Leif's.)
