About

“Whether you know these sonatas well or are totally unfamiliar with them, you owe it to yourself to hear this set. Schubert playing like this is rare. In July/August I reviewed two recent Schubert discs by Stephen Hough and Malcolm Bilson. Both were well played and well recorded. But I now feel constrained to add that in spite of their many individual virtues as Schubert interpreters, they are light years removed from Damgaard. This set (with its magisterial playing and even better sound) will surely be my ‘Record of the Year’. I am grateful to the editor for bringing it to my attention. If I can bring it to the attention of others, I will have done some good in the world.” – American Record Guide, November/December 1999

John Damgaard – a student of Georg Vasarhelyi, Ilona Kabos and Wilhelm Kempff - was assistant professor at The Royal Danish Academy of Music from 1969-84, and from 1984-2007 professor at the Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus. Since many years he is guest professor at Musashino Academia Musicae in Tokyo, Japan, as well as guest professor at the Australian National Academy of Music in Melbourne.
