Baritone Matthias Goerne and pianist Daniil Trifonov offer a deeply expressive recital featuring one of Schubert’s profound late masterpieces, and an earlier work from the prime of his career. Combining Goerne’s interpretative depth with Trifonov’s fiery pianism, they deliver an emotionally rich performance exploring themes of farewell, introspection, and serenity through moving renditions of Schwanengesang and the G Major Piano Sonata (D. 894), the final piano sonata published in Schubert's lifetime.
