Recorded 2 Schubert Sonatas

During the months of February to August 2020, I recorded Schubert Piano Sonatas D.959 and D. 960 to be released on CD sometime (probably) next year. While so many aspects, from performances to teaching activities and judging competitions, have been either canceled, postponed or altered in format these days, I was lucky to be able to record these sonatas during this pandemic.

Sonata in A major D. 959 was recorded August 2020
Sonata in B-flat major D. 960 in February 2020
Both were recorded at Kanagawa Prefectural Lake Sagamiko Community Center (神奈川県立相模湖交流センター) on a Bösendorfer 275

  • February 2020 (B-flat major)
  • August 2020 (A major)
  • After recording in August
