Wanderer-Fantasie, D. 760 / Sonata in B-flat, D. 960

Album by Franz Schubert & Alfred Brendel

This release pairs two piano works by Franz Schubert, composed in 1822 and 1828. The earlier fantasy is a virtuosic, through-composed piece with rapid figurations and thematic transformation, while the later B-flat sonata is one of Schubert's final large-scale piano compositions, characterised by expansive lyricism, inventive harmony and wide-ranging textures that bridge Classical forms and emerging Romantic expression.
