Martin Helmchen, piano Reviews "Of the three great sonatas Schubert wrote right before his death, this one is the sunniest, though not without its clouds and even thunderstorms. The pianists who brought these pieces into the mainstream repertoire during the middle of the last century emphasized momentum and structure. Recently players have been showing us their softer sides. This is the most gorgeous yet" - Lawson Taitte, Dallas Morning News
