Ingrid Haebler, Schubert - Klaviersonate D Dur DV 850

Review by John Sapida

Ingrid Haebler's performance of Schubert's Klaviersonate D Dur DV 850 is a stunning display of technical skill and musicality. The Austrian pianist brings a delicate touch to the opening Allegro, allowing the melody to soar above the accompaniment with ease. In the second movement, Haebler's interpretation of the Andante con moto is particularly moving, with her expressive phrasing and dynamic contrasts creating a powerful emotional impact. The final movement, marked Allegro vivace, is a tour de force of virtuosity, with Haebler's nimble fingers dancing across the keyboard in a flurry of notes. this recording is a must-listen for fans of Schubert and piano music alike, showcasing Haebler's remarkable talent and the beauty of the composer's work.
