Schubert was the ultimate romantic and Imogen brings out the full spectrum of his complex and colourful compositions, from the gentle German Dances, D790, and pearl-like Impromptus, D899, to the turbulent A minor Sonata, D 784, and mighty B flat Sonata, D960.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 220px;background-color:#f3f3f0;margin:0 0 8px 8px; padding:8px;color:#666;text-align:center;float:right\">NEW!

In fact, you could say that his songs and his piano music have sometimes been close to an obsession for me.\u201d It is more than 20 years since Cooper made a live and recorded survey of all the piano music Schubert composed from early 1823 until his death in 1828 at the age of 31. \u201cOne of the reasons I\u2019ve taken it all up again is that I feel it ten times more strongly than I did 20 years ago: the message has become more direct to me. Schubert has become even more necessary to my well-being, and I sense strongly that he is important for an audience\u2019s well-being too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCooper&#8217;s sensitivity to the new light shed by remote keys is unfailing, and above all she tells the strange adventure of Schubert&#8217;s most tormented A minor Sonata with unerring judgment.
