Schumann and Schubert's music is never simply cheerful their dark sides attack us suddenly, unexpectedly, either like a storm or by stealthily creeping up on us. Natalia Ehwald has selected two such works for the follow-up to the highly acclaimed GENUIN production Fantasias for Piano Schubert's late Sonata in A major and Schumann's early, InchsadInch Humoresque, op. 20. Ehwald does not try to smooth out anything; she never overlooks the roughness of the music but instead becomes involved, creating associations and thereby achieving a pianism of great suggestive power. This album is a lovely new discovery of two major works! Album Tracks 1. Piano Sonata No. 20 in a Major, D. 959 2. Humoreske in B Flat Major, Op. 20
