Schubert

Excerpt from CD notes

Georgy Tchaidze in conversation with Eric Friesen

Franz Schubert is, in many ways, the most underrated of the great composers. Music of the most astonishing variety and originality poured out of him almost every day of the very few he had on this earth, and yet he is rarely given his rightful place in anyone’s top ten list of great composers. Georgy Tchaidze is one musician who does. “Schubert’s music had a very strong influence on me when I was in my teens and for some time now his creativity occupies one of the central positions of my mind,” Georgy told me recently when I asked him why his first solo recital CD was made up entirely of Schubert’s music. This may seem an unusual program for a young Russian pianist, but there is a profoundly poetic side to this young man, as drawn to lyric intimacy as he is to dazzling firebrand virtuosity, a true Honens “Complete Artist”.
