Gerardo Teissonnière: The Complete Impromptus of Schubert
Following his acclaimed solo debut album of the Late Sonatas of Beethoven, pianist Gerardo Teissonnière brings his “crystalline sound, formidable technique, and exquisite musical taste” (Cleveland Classical) to The Complete Impromptus of Schubert.
“Acclaimed pianist and CIM Faculty Gerardo Teissonnière brings an old-school approach to the classics, with rare clarity and pianism. His approach is characterized by fidelity to the score, sparkling technique, and a sincerity unencumbered by ego.”
-Schubert: The Complete Impromptus | Ideastream Public Media
“Franz Schubert has occupied a very special place in my heart since I first became acquainted with his chamber music and piano works. He has been my great friend ever since, and my love for his music only grew in scope after my studies with two disciples of his great champion and interpreter, Artur Schnabel. The Impromptus are an exemplary and important cornerstone of the entire piano literature and a natural choice after my album of the last Beethoven sonatas.”
– Gerardo Teissonnière
