Soryang - SoRyang - piano

Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann and Brahms � Korean-born pianist SoRyang features the who's who of the Romantic period of classical music on her latest recording by the title 'piano'. SoRyang, who at the age of 16 found a new home in Austria, begins by laying out Beethoven�s Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor Op. 13, the popular 'Pathetique', which clearly illustrates the path from the Classical to the Romantic, which is reached with the 'Wanderer Fantasia' in C major Op. 15, D 760 by Franz Schubert. Being one of his most accomplished and technically demanding works, Schubert is cited with 'the devil should play this thing'. A little intermezzo is given with the 'Romanze' in F major, part of the Piano Pieces Op. 118 by Johannes Brahms, before SoRyang presents the monumental Sonata No. 3 in F minor Op. 14 (2nd revision of 1853) by Robert Schumann � a work that he initially described as 'Concerto Without Orchestra for the Pianoforte'.
