From the deepest pain to cheerful balance, from obsessively recurring chord blocks to floating, well-balanced melodic gossamer: once again, Paul Badura-Skoda steps out of the world’s entire orbit when he adds two further Sonatas to his GENUIN Schubert cycle; in A minor, D. 784 and A major, D. 959. The great pianist pursues the Schubertian abysses in his playing just as profoundly as he gets to the bottom of them in his texts: always tracking them down, constantly looking ahead. This is music as if from another star.
"... the effect is, like everything about this publication, sincere and reliable." (CD tip on Klassik.com, online)
