About
Schubert's solo piano music includes twenty-one sonatas (depending on the classification system), two sets of four impromptus each (D. 899 and D. 935), the six Moments Musicaux, and variations on themes. This new release on the Quartz label features two popular works written in close proximity to one another. Daniel Tong has appeared at the Royal Festival Hall, Wigmore Hall and is frequently heard on BBC Radio.

Perhaps the first thing that strikes one on hearing this release is the quality of the pianism. Not its dazzling virtuosity...but the sheer full-blooded refinement of the playing...it's always a blessed relief to hear an artist with Daniel Tong's self-evident love and understanding of the instrument...Alas, however, the Achilles Heel here lies in what I can only, and regretfully, describe as rhythmic monotony.
