Following his recordings of the Impromptus and Moments Musicaux, GENUIN and Paul Badura-Skoda are now releasing yet more gems from the great pianist’s archive of Schubert recordings. This disc features three of Schubert’s posthumous sonatas which move us, amaze us and put is in a reflective mood. As the lively and informative booklet text by the pianist tells us, it seems unbelievable that these works went undiscovered for over 100 years. The illuminating and personal style of his liner notes is matched by Badura-Skoda’s equally engaging and lively performance of these works as well. This recording is a confession of the most intimate kind, going straight to the heart and certain to make listeners want to listen over and over again.

This makes his interpretation far superior to other recordings, including the highly acclaimed performance by Alfred Brendel …"
