About

Exploring the quintessence of musical folklore so dear to his heart, in the form of his still neglected ländler and waltzes, right up to the last notes of the Sonata in B flat on the eve of his death, Schubert takes us from the simplest language to the innermost reaches of the soul. One can hardly dream of a more appropriate pianist than Shani Diluka to guide us through these works and offer us an interpretation shifting between shadows and light, touching on the mystery of the invisible, as Novalis said. Here she performs some of the Viennese composer’s finest pieces.

Awards and reviews

20th October 2015

Diluka’s performances of these dances are very musical, and I very much enjoy the sound of the Bechstein instrument she is using. This has a deep resonance in the low registers, a nicely rounded lyrical feel in the rich mid and pearlescent upper scales which work very well for Schubert, creating a more vocal feel than the usually more brilliant and forward projection of your typical Steinway … I have very much enjoyed discovering and exploring Shani Diluka’s recording.
