Sonata, fantasie and rondo

"Chamber choice: Listening to these profoundly intimate performances is to be reminded how the evolution of both piano and violin has reshaped the way Schubert's music is perceived ... To effectively play instruments such as Schubert would have recognised requires super-refined technique and boundless musical imagination - there is simply nowhere to hide. To hear Alasdair Beatson's exquisitely subtle rendering of the C major Fantasie's opening oscillations, and the way Viktoria Mullova segues into the fluttering textures as though she is merely breathing on her strings, is to enter a world in which every tiny gesture is of vital significance".
