Schubert Piano Sonatas D 537 & D 894
Lachenmann Five Variations on a theme by Schubert | Guero
OehmsClassics OC 593

“What young pianist has the talent, the gift, to make room on
a Schubert CD for pieces by Helmut Lachenmann? (...)
The mysteriously hesitating, ‘whispering’ introduction to the
great G major Sonata is not temperamentally veiled with Schuch;
in rhythm and tone, it is set on firm foundations, and yet sensitively articulated. In the A minor Sonata too, Schubert appears as an energetic character who can still express himself freely and discursively. It shows a young musician’s mastery of his art when like Herbert Schuch he takes the internal and external time to bring the music to itself” (...)
Süddeutsche Zeitung, 16 May 2000

“The pianist who catches Schubert’s piano tone has proved himself
as an artist. But 29-year-old Herbert Schuch can do more than that.
His profound interpretation of the D 537 and D 894 sonatas is set
amid works by Lachenmann: the Schubert Variations (...) and the
cheeky anti-music ‘Guero’.”
