The Georgian pianist Elisabeth Leonskaja is one of those rare artists who has already been awarded a lifetime achievement prize: for her long-standing contributions to piano music, she received the International Classical Music Award in 2020. After Georgia had already granted her the highest honor, the Priestess of Art, she was also awarded the Österreichische Ehrenzeichen für Wissenschaft und Kunst (Austrian Honorary Award for Science and Art) in Austria, first class. Now, it is all about Schubert, Schubert, and Schubert. His three final piano sonatas – a truly powerful trio, often performed together and proven to be highly successful. They will surely resonate with “passion, power, and purpose” (The Guardian).
Franz Schubert had one great wish: he didn’t want to be merely Schubert, but also to compose in the same way as Beethoven. His musical idol, this man who walked the same streets in the same city, Vienna, as he did. Beethoven, for him, was the standard. The magnificent impromptus and moments musicales were not enough; it had to be Beethoven-like sonatas. In the final months of his short life, Schubert succeeded in doing just that. Three grand piano sonatas. One dramatic, one lyrical, and one… well, the last one defies any description. So much is expressed here. This sonata in B-flat, the most performed, is the pinnacle of Schubert’s piano oeuvre.
