About this release

Klára Würtz has a special affinity for Schubert. The musical world of dark and light, from innocence and bliss to utter despair, finds a natural expression in her ever‐flowing, intensely musical playing. The famous last sonata in B flat D960 has been on her repertoire for decades, and her interpretation is one of deep love, understanding and feeling. Her interpretation is characterised by a clear sense of structure, a singing quality and a warm and luminous sound.

Würtz’s recent recording for Piano Classics of the Schubert Impromptus (PCL0013) was reviewed in Fanfare: “There are just a handful of great recordings of these 8 pieces: Schnabel, Brendel, Lupu, Zimerman, Uchida, Perahia…I believe that Klára
Würtz belongs to this exalted company…this is very natural and
distinctive music-making at a very high level..”” (Charles Timbrell, Fanfare).

“Klára Würtz’s intelligence, technical finesse and innate musicality serve the Schubert Impromptus well” (Jed Distler, Classicstoday.com).
