Description:

Leonskaya's Schubert received rave reviews at the 2018 Tokyo Spring Music Festival. The complete works, which were recorded just before his visit to Japan and released on the EaSonus label, have been re-released by Warner Classics in a bargain-priced complete works box set. Only the direct import edition handled by Warner Music Japan comes with a commentary written by Shinnosuke Nagai and a Japanese translation of the commentary based on the latest research by Miguel Angel Marin, a Spanish musicologist and an authority on Schubert's piano music. Leonskaya, who first attracted the world's attention with her duo with Richter, still enjoys the respect of many musicians in her native Russia and in Europe. She presents the profound world of Schubert. Her recordings of Schubert: Piano Sonatas (Nos. 7, 13, 18-21/No. 9029.597495) from 1992-1998 are also available from the Budget Boxes Series, and they too are full of highly luminous and sparkling sound rows, with feminine tenderness and attention to detail, combined with a deep knowledge of the score. The boxed version is one of the best-selling recordings of Schubert and has received high acclaim. The recordings were recorded in 2015 and 2017 and released on the EaSonus label, but now that Leonskaya has signed an exclusive contract with Warner Classics, we are releasing these recordings together.Schubert is the composer that Leonskaya has been deeply committed to for many years, and "the more I work on it, the more I want to go beyond it. For me now, that is Schubert. Because Schubert's works are truly diverse and full of musical, philosophical, and literary creativity. In 2018, at the Tokyo Spring Music Festival, she will perform 18 of Schubert's piano sonatas and the "Wanderer Fantasy. The performance of "Wanderer Fantasy" at the Tokyo Spring Music Festival in 2018 was a highly acclaimed masterpiece, and here one can sense Leonskaya's image of Schubert, who transcended the sense of time and perceived these works as natural. The second and eleventh pieces, which are said to be the missing movements, are inserted and performed as a single piece. The third piece is also unique in that it consists of five movements with the addition of three piano pieces. *Because this is an imported product, minor scratches, folds, scuffs, dents, tears, stains, crushed corners, scratches on the disc surface that do not affect playback, stains, image differences, and individual differences may be found on the product (including jacket, outer plastic, outer box, case, enclosure, etc.) at the time of arrival.
