John Gade: Schubert D.960

Description

The young pianist John Gade delivers a poetic and passionate interpretation of Schubert's last sonata! At just under 22 years old, John Gade records Franz Schubert's final sonata in one take at the Conservatoire de Paris. Far from an unconscious gesture, his interpretation claims momentum, instinct, and youth, defying the notion that such a work requires maturity. Between flashes of brilliance, sudden darkening, and moving phrasing, he presents a poetic and ardent reading, driven by the breath and brilliance of youth. After a dark detour with Scriabin (album "Opium" with Scala Music), this Schubert asserts itself with its urgency, its refusal of consensus, and an art that is as fragile as it is fascinating, where risk fuels intensity.
