This is a wholly individual account of the 'Pastoral' Sonata, one to be treasured and admired on its own merits. The Schubert, however, is the gem of this release...this is a reading that deserves classic status...fire underlies the first movement...contrasts are heightened, with some of Schubert's writing emerging as distinctly angular - and indeed, forward-looking - in outlook...there is beauty aplenty, but never for its own sake. Colin Clarke, Classicalsource
