"This is the third disc of collaborations in which one of the finest pianists of our time joins forces with one of the finest Lieder singers in programs pairing Schubert sonatas and songs." (Fanfare)
The immediate appeal here is two very charismatic artists, both still young yet thoroughly seasoned, collaborating on appealing repertoire. Bostridge's Schubert glistens, his phrasing is plastic and unforced and the details of diction and dynamics are effortlessly subsumed into a simple and direct interpretation. Andsnes is an attentive and inventive accompanist, responsive not retiring.
