Russian pianist Valery Afanassiev, renowned for his strikingly individual and deeply introspective interpretations of the music of Franz Schubert, pairs two often extrovert works by the composer: the set of Moments musicaux and the Sonata D 850, both recorded in September 2010. Completed one year before the composer’s premature death, the Moments musicaux brim with song and dance as well as Schubert’s characteristic mood swings from major to minor and from light to dark. The Sonata D 850 is one of Schubert’s most ebullient piano sonatas, with yodelling-like melodies, simulated horn calls and strongly syncopated rhythms, but like so many works by the composer, there are passages with an air of nostalgia and emotional ambiguity.
