Schubert 6 Moments musicaux 4 Impromptus Allegretto in C d_ 780 899 915

Product Description David Fray has declared his particular affinity with Austro- German music, and after two CDs featuring Bach and a DVD of Bach concertos he now programs Schubert. His approach to the music is typically questioning and illuminating. "At the piano," he told the French magazine Pianiste, "I try to make music like a conductor, not just as a pianist. I approach the score as if it is a reduction of a symphonic work. The piano constitutes a way of getting nearer the heart of the music." Review "The interpretation is always generous, enthusiastic and rich in contrasts. The fast movements appeal with their healthy energy, exuberant humour in their finales and lyricism throughout. No moments of tension stiffen the pianist's phrases and he gives free rein to the sound," -- Le Monde de la musique "perhaps the most inspired, certainly the most original Bachplayer of his generation . . . He discovers more psychological depth, more well-rounded stories and more refined emotions than his colleagues . . . His approach is lyrical, flexible, elegant and instilled with a cultivated bel canto aesthetic." -- Spiegel
