- Summary:
- Experience Daniel Barenboim in a landmark series of four solo recitals featuring Schubert's eleven completed piano sonatas, filmed in March 2017 in Berlin's Pierre Boulez Saal. In the fourth and final concert, the legendary musician performs the Piano Sonatas Nos. 16 and 21. Of Schubert's 21 piano sonatas, only three were published during his lifetime, and in the century following the composer's premature death, all of the works went mostly ignored. Today, they are celebrated as a high point of the Romantic repertoire, equal to his contemporary Beethoven's masterworks of the same genre. When asked his thoughts on Schubert's piano sonatas, Daniel Barenboim observed that "it's very hard to talk about music, because we can only really talk about our reactions to it, not about the music itself. If I could explain exactly what a Schubert sonata is, I wouldn't need to play it anymore. It's beyond words. All I can say, from my own experience, is that it's a revelation. A journey into a harmonic world full of variety."
