'This Schubert recital given by Cyprien Katsaris at the "Schubertiade" Festival (Feldkirch Conservatory, Austria) on 3 July 1993 presents three masterpieces dating from shortly before the composer’s death: the first two Klavierstücke D. 946 and his last Sonata no 23 D 960, along with a set of Ländler and three Lieder (Ständchen, Der Müller und der Bach and Ave Maria), transcribed by Liszt. In addition, Cyprien Katsaris offers improvisations on themes by Tchaikovsky and Wagner, concluding with the sublime Adagio from Marcello’s Oboe Concerto, transcribed by Bach.'
