Pianists Bertrand Chamayou and Leif Ove Andsnes join forces to record Schubert’s magnificent Fantasia in F minor, presenting a landmark Schubert 4 Hands album. This release arrives 40 years after Radu Lupu and Murray Perahia’s legendary CBS recording and 60 years after Benjamin Britten and Sviatoslav Richter’s historic Aldeburgh Festival performance. The duo delivers breathtaking interpretations that could establish this recording as the new reference for Schubert’s Fantasia. The album pairs the Fantasia with other Schubert four-hand works composed in 1828, the year of the composer’s death, offering a deeply intimate and historically informed program.
