Schubert: Piano Works for Four Hands
Composed by Franz Schubert
Apex/Warner Classics / 469-212-9
Recorded 1998
'The new album starts with the F minor Fantasia, and I think you could live a long time without encountering a performance more moving. Anne Oueffelec and Imogen Cooper find the perfect tempo for the main theme . . . They read between the lines of every bar with quite exceptional insight and involvement, and at the end of it all leave you convinced that no more personal document has ever reached the world in the form of a piano duet.'
