Music for piano occupies a position of importance in
Schnittke's extensive catalogue, despite its relatively restricted
dimensions.The piano works in Schnittke's late period, after a
serious stroke in 1985, reveal him struggling with a sense of
suffering and the fragility of existence. In this perspective the
Sonata may evoke the image of Mahler: and this is not only
due to its monumental proportion and cosmic scale, but also
for the mingling of victory and defeat. “Giampaolo Nuti has a keen ear for the layers of meaning that Schnittke embeds into his music, and his forceful pianism does not preclude sensitivities of touch and nuance.” Gramophone Magazine, 2008 Awards Issue | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
