Through performance and commentary, pianist Alfred Brendel demonstrates the keen intellectual understanding and deep emotional connection to the music of Franz Schubert that have made him one of the composer's most admired interpreters. Here, the master takes on Sonata in A Minor, D. 845, and Sonata in D Major, D. 850 ("Gasteiner"), which Schubert wrote during a sojourn in the Austrian spa town of Bad Gastein.
