Schubertiade Schwarzenberg Festival 2021 (4/4)
Francesco Piemontesi plays Schubert's Piano Sonata No 14 in A minor, and the Pavel Haas and Dover quartets join forces to perform Mendelssohn's Octet in E flat.
The week's recordings from the Schubertiade Schwarzenberg Festival 2021 come to an end with two satisfyingly contrasting works. Francesco Piemontesi plays Franz Schubert's 1823 Piano Sonata No. 14. Shockingly dark and austere, it's thought to have been Schubert's deeply personal response to a bout of debilitating illness. Two years later in his Octet, Felix Mendelssohn poured his untroubled 16-year-old soul into music of unparalleled joyousness and élan, performed here by two of the world's most renowned string quartets.
