Virtuoso pianist Stanislav Khristenko performs Schubert's C minor Sonata, D 958, one of his last masterpieces.

“Khristenko’s fluidity, directness and long-lined control engender a natural unfolding build in the final movement.”

 –  Gramophone

“Khristenko approaches the work with sensitivity as well as the necessary virtuosity...a fine balance between its technical complexity and its emotional heart.” 

– Infodad
