Summary note
This fabulous vintage recital by the great Sir András Schiff at the Munich Residenz highlights the profound lyricism and captivating delicacy of Schubert's second set of Four Impromptus, D. 935, published after the composer's death. Each of these gentle and melancholy miniatures unfolds elegantly under the virtuoso's capable hands, which bring out every subtle dynamic shift and melodic line. Enjoy the opening Allegro moderato in sonata form, the second lilting Allegretto, the famous "Rosamunde" theme and variations in third place, and finally the concluding Allegro scherzando, ferocious and technically demanding, which brings the set to a fiery finish.
