REVIEW
'The sound recording is superb. throughout this demanding programme Vogt plays with wonderfully quiet hand, drawing the most lovely tone from the Steinway. [Schubert's Piano Sonata No. 18] unfolds in an almost improvisatory reverie and I would buy the DVD just for Vogt's handling of the last movement. How good to hear one of the least-played of Mozart's miraclulous cycle and to have it delivered by Vogt with understated, stylish conviction.' --Jeremy Nicholas, Gramophone Awards 2012 Issue
German pianist Lars Vogt is playing better than ever nowadays, as is evident from a 2011 Verbier Festival recital. --Julian Haylock, International Record Review
