Performer Biography

Daniel Röhm, the pianist on this album, was born in Böblingen, Germany, in 1974, and performed the Mozart Piano Concerto KV 414 at the age of 13.

Compositional Technique

Schubert's 'Wanderer' Fantasy, D. 760, develops all four of its movements from a single rhythmic motif, which Schubert took from his art song 'The Wanderer'.

Composer's Artistic Vision

Franz Liszt's arrangement of Schubert's 'Wanderer' Fantasy for piano and orchestra was a tribute to Schubert, aiming to prevent his neglect and establish him as an important 19th-century composer.

Composition History

Franz Liszt completed his large B Minor Sonata in early 1853, five years after he officially stopped performing on the piano in public.

Compositional Technique

The 'Wanderer' Fantasy by Franz Schubert revolutionized pianistic technique and exhausted the instrument's tonal resources at the time, closely relating it to Franz Liszt's approach.

Performer Biography

Daniel Röhm's debut CD recording of two late piano sonatas by Franz Schubert was awarded the SUPERSONIC AWARD.

Critical Reception

Franz Liszt's B Minor Sonata was largely met with disinterest and disapproval during his lifetime, with his wife Clara Schumann commenting on it disparagingly and critic Eduard Hanslick calling it 'a bloody fight against all things musical.'
