About
From his very first surviving work, a fantasy, to the masterpieces composed in the year of his death in 1828, Schubert left more than thirty-five scores for piano four hands. He imposed drama, grandeur and virtuosity on the genre, suspending time to follow the rhythm of his eternal traveller’s footsteps. For more than 20 years now, in intense symbiosis, Claire Désert and Emmanuel Strosser have been exploring together the unique world of Schubert’s piano duets.

January 2016
their performances are finely reactive, sensitive to that troubled strain in Schubert that so often undercuts the Biedermeier Gemütlichkeit of the music. Even the Variations, so often presented as little more than a straight-backed academic exercise, are here raised to a loftier plane…a fine-sounding piano adds to the attractions of this really rather lovely disc
