"... frames two fascinating and relatively unfamiliar contemporary Schubert tributes between two frequently recorded Schubert sonatas ..."
- Gramophone
"The excellent and inquisitive Israeli-born pianist Benjamin Hochman pays homage to Schubert with vibrant and stylish accounts ..."
- The New York Times
"... (Hochman) has an especially fine way with the gentle side of Schubert, with a carefully wrought tonality and vocal rhythmic pacing that recalls Kempff. His tempos are relaxed and his phrasing has a flexibility that points the music forward, rather than backward, in a musical historical sense ... I am sure that certain music lovers will object to the inclusion of contemporary music on this programme, but Hochman is making a point, namely, that Schubert is as contemporary, timeless really, in his ability to touch us to the depths. Those so inclined will miss the opportunity to hear a very promising new artist ..."
- Fanfare
On his debut solo album released in 2013, award-winning Israeli-American pianist Benjamin Hochman combines two contrasting Schubert sonatas with a pair of modern day tributes to the composer, featuring György Kurtág's title work. Hochman also presents the world premiere of Jörg Widmann’s Six Schubert Reminiscences, which conjures a wide range of complex, volatile and mercurial emotions worthy of its namesake.
