The last two years of Schubert’s life were among his most prolific, giving rise, amongst other works, to his last piano sonata, in B flat major, and his second set of Impromptus, both of which are performed here by Dasol Kim. In each of these “musical landscapes” (to borrow Adorno’s expression) looms the shadow of a “tragic solitude” – that of man facing his death, which Schubert the traveller transcends in these wonderful – sometimes heart-breaking, sometimes ecstatic – pieces.
