About

Inon Barnatan follows his best-selling and critically acclaimed Avie debut, Darknesse Visible, with highly polished readings of Schubert’s two late Piano Sonatas, D958 and D 959.

Inon Barnatan is “a born Schubertian” who performs with “sensitivity, poise and focus,” according to Gramophone magazine. Schubert occupies a great deal of Inon’s 2013-14 season, including his second release for Avie of the two late Sonatas, D958 and D959. Inon’s first release for Avie, Darknesse Visible (AV2256) debuted in the Top 25 of the Billboard Traditional Classical chart in its first week of release and received universal critical acclaim, including BBC Music Magazine’s Instrumental Choice of the Month, and a coveted place on The New York Times’ Best Classical Music Recordings list of 2012. Inon’s new release will be supported by a number of recitals that feature Schubert Sonatas.

Reviews

Christmas Issue 2013

This is superior playing, in which penetrating musicianship, compelling interpretative insight and elegant pianism achieve a near-perfect equilibrium...If I have one hovering reservation about the recital as a whole, it's that the playing is perhaps too consistently beautiful. I can think of worse faults.

November 2013

he relates utterly naturally to the anguished world of Schubert's final piano pieces...There's no shortage of rhetoric in the C minor (D958)...the A major Sonata (D959) is finer still. Barnatan conveys right from the outset the sense of disquiet...the finale, lustrously shaded and endlessly subtly phrased, is one of the best things here.
