Paul Lewis plays Schubert

Three sonatas by Franz Schubert played by the celebrated British pianist, recorded at Wigmore Hall in London, presented by Hannah French.

Three important works from Schubert’s output. D664 is one of the shortest of the series, and one of the sunniest. When posthumously published in 1861, the incomplete D840 was named ‘Reliquie’ – meaning ‘relic’ – as it was (incorrectly) supposed to be the composer’s final work; the A minor D845 is one of several that postdate it.
Recorded at Wigmore Hall, London, presented by Hannah French.
