Schubert Live: Volume 2

Schubert Live: Volume 2

"Imogen Cooper's live Schubert takes its deserved place alongside the greats ... astonishing achievement ... Volume 1 makes one long for Volume 2." -- Gramophone <P>"One of the interpretive elite, and on this new issue she reinforces her standing as one of the finest Schubertians in the world." -- International Record Review <P>Imogen Cooper's Schubert Live, Vol. 1 was a runaway success, both critically and commercially. Now, she continues her exploration of Schubert's late piano music with the second volume in her series for Avie, recorded live at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London. Her selection for volume two reflects the public appetite, in the 1820s, for shorter piano pieces, which resulted in Six Moments Musicaux, D780 and Four Impromptus, D 935. January 2010 appearances with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.
