PAUL LEWIS, PIANO
BEETHOVEN AND SCHUBERT

“Lewis’ deep insights into the emotional complications of this music were matched by his firm grasp of classical structure and the ways in which Schubert’s lyrical gift illuminates that structure. This was Schubert playing of a very high order.” – Chicago Tribune
