About

"Being able to release my first solo CD with the hänssler CLASSIC label is simply fantastic. The assembled works on this CD reflect my musical focus. The juxtaposition of globally renowned and beloved compositions with the quest for seldom-performed musical treasures captivates me in my profession. I have recorded a journey through the colourful world of fantasy. The sound journey with Beethoven, Schubert and Mendelssohn Bartholdy shows famous, rarely played and unfinished piano works, which, besides a reference to nature, find their nucleus in Beethoven's 'Moonlight Sonata'. The three composers are united by the search for new possibilities of expression. There are (almost) no limits to the imagination. Ludwig van Beethoven takes centre stage. His contrasting works Fantasy for piano, Unv12, an unfinished sketch, and the universally known 'Sonata quasi una fantasia' op.27 no.2, more familiar to most as the 'Moonlight Sonata', are an exciting com bination. Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's Phantasie, op.28 'Scottish Sonata', harks back to Beethoven's love of nature. He wrote this fantasy in 1833 on his cultural journey through Italy, France and Great Britain. Here, Mendelssohn Bartholdy sets his impressions of the mood and landscape of Scotland to music. Franz Schubert's Fantasy, op.15 D760 'Wanderer Fantasy', is a work that is close to my heart." – Maximilian Schairer
