Daniel Barenboim attested "unheard-of musicality" to the young pianist Leonie Karatas when she played for him at the age of 14 - today the musician is one of the "great up-and-coming piano talents" (NDR Kulturredaktion).

Leonie Karatas’s second CD is dedicated to the great composers of the Romantic period: Franz Schubert and Franz Liszt.

Schubert's last piano sonata is considered to have paved the way to the High Romantic full stop, and in combination with Liszt's most important piano sonata as the virtuoso climax of the Romantic piano literature, this piano concerto offers a musical treat.

What unites Schubert and Liszt is not only their obvious bond through music. They used a stylistic device familiar today in theatre and film, which finds its expression in the subliminal presence of the inevitable, the imminent transience: suspense.
