Digital Booklet
"This is quite an inspired pairing, even if it risks giving you the mother of all earworms after hearing one of Schubert’s catchiest themes in two versions: the return of the whimsical melody of the second movement of the early(ish) A minor Sonata in its superior, Beethovenian guise as the Rondo finale of the late A major shows how extraordinary was the creative journey Schubert had undertaken in the space of just a decade. Garrick Ohlsson approaches both sonatas with a high sense of drama. This is big-boned pianism that rarely lacks immediacy or drive." - Gramophone An inspired pairing of Schubert’s first completed piano sonata with one of the sublimely expansive masterpieces from his final year. Garrick Ohlsson delivers rather special results.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
