Acclaimed Italian pianist Stefania Cafaro draws us into the intimate world of Schubert’s piano music with the Piano Sonata in A minor, D. 845 (1825) and the Piano Sonata in A major, D. 959 (1828).
Stefania Cafaro, a student of Michele Campanella, has a particular affinity with Schubert’s music, which is especially precious to her. In calling this album Silence, she draws our attention to the sense of quiet solitude that inhabits these works; the significance of pauses within the music; and the contemplative, soul-baring nature of much of Schubert’s piano music. In bringing together these two great Schubert sonatas, Stefania Cafaro offers a fresh and deeply-felt interpretation of some of the most demanding and emotive music in the repertoire.
