The Hungarian-born pianist Klára Würtz has made a name for herself through her international concert career and her numerous recordings, including award-winning sets of Mozart and Schumann. Now she turns to the deceptively simple word of the Schubert Impromptus popular pieces often attempted by amateur pianists. She discovers a world of intense emotions, from peaceful beauty to tragic despair, the musical language of the late piano sonatas and Winterreise. Würtz was nurtured in the rich musical environment of the Liszt Academy in Budapest in the seventies and eighties, surrounded by such musical giants as Zoltán Kocsis, András Schiff, Ferenc Rados and György Kurtág.
