Schubert (1797-1828)

Description:

Enjoy the beautiful songfulness of Schubert's masterpieces with the warm tones of the cello sinking inThe first in a series of "In Memoriam" recordings to be released by Whisperway in 2023. This album is a selection of Schubert's works from previously released recording projects of Schubert and Brahms, reconstructed. Although all of the works were originally written for different instruments, they are all beautiful masterpieces that are very well suited to the sound of the cello. They are accompanied by Paolo Giacometti, Whisperway's trusted pianist, and are a perfect match. Schubert's music had a profound influence on Wispelway's son, who was also a music lover. In 2022, six months before his 60th birthday, my son Dorian passed away. My family and I are in a state of shock, and every day is shaken to the core. I believe that bringing positive and constructive healing through music is the way forward for me.Peter Wispelway, King International, Inc.
