{"product_id":"volume-4-635212083420","title":"Volume 4","description":"\"In a word I feel myself the most unhappy and wretched creature in the world. Imagine a man whose health will never be right again, and who in sheer despair over this ever makes things worse and worse instead of better... but I have tried my hand at several instrumental things... in fact, I intend to pave the way towards a grand symphony in this manner.\" These extracts from a letter of 1824 epitomize to me the paradox of Schubert, the manic-depressive composer. On the one hand his music has that world-weary element of profound grief - 'the most wretched creature in the world' - and on the other a life-affirming exuberance bordering on the manic that characterizes the Wanderer-Fantasie and parts of the D major sonata D.850. Here, Llyr Williams plays a collection of Schubert solo piano works across a series of releases, once again showing why he is one of the most diverse and extraordinary pianists performing today.","brand":"Signum Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46362307166291,"sku":"2245504X","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/3760302_a1476c02-34c6-4133-9eb8-adbc7cd6551a.jpg?v=1790218293","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/volume-4-635212083420","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
