Jonathan Biss has held audiences in awe for more than a quarter of a century with interpretations that penetrate deep beneath the surface of the works in his expansive repertoire. The American pianist casts fresh light on pieces from Janáček’s On an Overgrown Path by siting them together with mature Mozart sonatas (and vice versa), before exploring Schumann’s great monument to musical Romanticism.
