DSD Recording | Features Stereo and Multichannel Surround Sound | Label: Channel Classics # CCS SA 20705 Dejan Lazić is one of those pianists who personalizes everything that he does, somewhat like a German stage director who has to have a “concept”. Accordingly, the results can be stimulating, or just plain perverse. Confronting Franz Schubert’s great B-flat major sonata presents a unique series of challenges, because the music itself is so strange, so rich in character, that it tends to be diminished rather than enhanced by an excess of “ideas”, if by this we mean something novel or gratuitous imposed for its own sake. The sonata needs to be realized from within, as it were, and met on its own terms. Happily, Lazic clearly understands this and does what any outstanding interpreter of this music must: he simply loses himself in the work, letting us hear Schubert speak through Lazić, rather than the other way around.
