Fantaisies

David Fray returns to Schubert with his much-anticipated second recording of the composer's piano music, a collection of passionate late works. Along with the Sonata in G D894 'Fantaisie' and the Hungarian Melody D817, Fray presents two duets for piano four-hands, both composed in the last year of Schubert's life: The Fantasy in F minor D940 and the towering Allegro in a minor D947, 'Lebenssturme' ('Storms of Life'). Fray invited Jacques Rouvier, his mentor and renowned teacher from the Paris Conservatoire, to join him in the studio, making this album a true labor of love.
