Mathieu Gaudet - Schubert: The Complete Sonatas and Major Piano Works, Vol. 6 - Relics (2022 [Hi-Res])

Mathieu Gaudet presents here the sixth volume in his wonderful collection of the complete sonatas and major works for piano of the great German composer Franz Schubert. This album features Schubert’s Sonata No. 14 in C major, D. 840 that bears the epithet "Reliquie". Shrouded in a mystery never entirely dispelled, the nickname suggests great depth of expression, a certain strangeness, and a touch of exoticism. The sonata’s unfinished status has, in some ways, guarded it from the interpretive overexposure to which Schubert’s most popular works have been subjected. We find here also the so beautiful Sonata in A Major, D. 664, played with a real tenderness by Mathieu Gaudet.
