In his late years, Takahiro Sonoda wanted to record the pieces of Shubert with one session per year pace. Unfortunately this project was forced to be ended after two recordings by his unexpected decease. Left result is this unfinished 2CDset-album. This album was released at the occasion of the 10th commemorative year after his death. In this recording, the long and entirely characteristic Schuber's themes are played like natural phenomena. The ever flowing musicality of his performance without any trace of pretentiousness is overwhelming. This album became the very last recording of Sonoda's late years.
