Soft, played with intensively close listening, feeling the inner essence of the music: this is how the exceptional Japanese pianist Nami Ejiri approaches the late works of Schubert on her GENUIN debut CD. Alongside the great Sonata in B-flat major, she plays the Four Impromptus, D 899 and the more rarely played Allegretto in C minor (D 915). One has time to discover this magnificent music anew: the young Frankfurt pianist, celebrated throughout the world, is not one of the thundering piano virtuosos – but she can give Schubert's music all the sharpness and weight that it requires. Let's have more of it!

"The sound is very good at all dynamic levels, the instrument well in focus in a convincing acoustic, neither too reverberant nor too dry."
