Schubert / Feltsman,Vladimir Piano Music 1 CD

After simultaneously charting four separate albums on the Billboard Classical Charts last year, pianist and conductor Vladimir Feltsman turns to the music of Schubert. Described as the last "Classical" and first "Romantic" composer, it is really impossible to pin a meaningful label on Schubert. He was, and still is, a very special case: a lonely figure in musical history, and a dreamer who brought a previously unknown degree of intimacy, despair, hope, and disappointment into music. Schubert was a sincere, shy, and vulnerable man (though did not lack confidence in himself as an artist), and his personality is clearly reflected in his music.
