Search - Franz [Vienna] Schubert, John O'Conor :: Schubert: Moments Musicaux; Sonata in A major

The world always will have its flashy pianists, as well as deeply serious, intellectual types. Both are "good for the sport," so to speak. But then there are pianists like John O'Conor--fluid and formidable in technique, thoroughly musical and well versed in every chosen work--whose exceptional artistry consistently puts us in touch with the humanity that connects the music to the performance. This also is very good for music, and for these difficult but engaging Schubert pieces. --David Vernier
