About this album
A refined Romantic recital pairing Brahms’s Op. 10 Ballades with Schubert’s Piano Sonata D.537, shaped by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli’s celebrated precision and control. Brahms’s four Ballades combine narrative tension, lyricism and structural rigour, while Schubert’s early sonata reveals the composer’s gift for graceful melody and poised classicism. Michelangeli’s playing is prized for its clarity, discipline and tonal finesse, qualities that bring exceptional focus to both composers’ contrasting worlds. This kind of repertory suited his reputation as one of the great aristocrats of the piano, admired for making every phrase sound deliberate, eloquent and immaculately balanced.
