| Disc No: OC 593 |
For the second CD ardently desired by listeners after his brilliant 2006 debut, pianist Herbert Schuch thought up something which couldn’t be more original: Franz Schubert’s Piano Sonatas D 894 and 537 meet two works of important contemporary composer Helmut Lachenmann, who celebrated his 70th birthday two years ago. After all, Lachenmann’s Five Variations on a Theme by Franz Schubert (composed in 1956 and based on the German Dance in C-Sharp Minor D 643/1 from 1819) did nothing less than manifest the great significance of Schubert for contemporary music.
