About Schubert András Schiff
Born: 1797-01-31 (Himmelpfortgrund, Vienna, Austria).
Died: 1828-11-19 (Vienna, Austria).
Franz Peter Schubert was an Austrian composer of the late Classical and early Romantic eras.
Despite his short lifetime, Schubert left behind a vast oeuvre, including more than 600 secular vocal works (mainly lieder), seven complete symphonies, sacred music, operas, incidental music and a large body of piano and chamber music.
"The Piano Sonatas Die Klaviersonaten" is a must-have for any classical music lover. Schiff's skillful playing and deep understanding of Schubert's music make this album a true masterpiece.
