This album is the seventh installment in Gerhard Oppitz's survey of the piano music of Franz Schubert, featuring his Piano Sonata No. 4 in A minor, D537 (1817), considered to be the composer's first successful essay in this genre. Gerhard Oppitz is universally recognized as one of the leading exponents of German Romanticism and is the ideal interpreter for these works. His intelligent, sensitive and understated interpretations make an ideal advocate for the music of Schubert.
