Meira Farkas, piano

The Romanian-born pianist Meira Farkas was already on stage at a young age with great artistic personalities such as Itzhak Perlman, Rudolf Serkin, Pinchas Zukerman or Pablo Casals. After already two double CDs with piano works by Franz Schubert, which were enthusiastically received by audiences and critics, the great Schubert pianist Farkas now presents the third part of her Schubert recordings at Gramola. This includes the Piano Sonatas No. 1 in E major, D 157, No. 4 in A minor D 537 and No. 14 in A minor D 784, the four Impromptus op. 90, D 899 as well as Litanei (on the feast of All Souls), Erstarrung (from Winterreise) and Ständchen/Serenade (from Schwanengesang), three transcriptions of Schubert songs by Franz Liszt.
