By Yehuda Inbar. By Franz Schubert, Jorg Widmann, and Michael Finnissy. Classical, Piano. Classical. CD. Oehms Classics #OC 1712. Published by Oehms Classics (NX.OC-1712).

Schubert's early death left us with an enormous amount of unfinished and fragmentary pieces, many of which are masterpieces. His piano sonatas are an unusual case -comprising eleven completed sonatas, ten fragmentary ones and four other fragmentary movements. Two of these fragmentary sonatas are juxtaposed in this program: the mysterious early fragment in F sharp minor D 571 and the epic Sonata in C major D 840 Reliquie, followed by Michael Finnissy's new Vervollstandigung von Schuberts D 840, commissioned and premiered by Yehuda Inbar in May 2017, and receiving its premiere recording on this release. The album culminates with Jorg Widmann's Idyll und Abgrund: Six Schubert Reminiscences for Piano.
