The enormous technical demands of Schubert’s Wanderer Fantasy have cast the work as one of the showpieces of solo piano repertoire. “Just let the devil play that stuff”, Schubert himself allegedly once said. The virtuoso quality of the piece was certainly the reason why Franz Liszt was so enthusiastic about it. The fantasia’s four movements blend into one another, corresponding to the structure of a piano sonata. Although Schubert does use traditional forms, such as sonata form, fugue and variation form, he either does not develop them as expected, or abandons them in order to pursue a totally different course.
Pianist Oleg Maisenberg, now aged 78, is able to look back on an impressive worldwide career. He’s accompanied on this album by the equally successful conductor Adam Fisher and the former SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden-Baden and Freiburg.
