Much lauded for her interpretations of Hans Gál's concerto and chamber music works, Sarah Beth Briggs presents the composer's beguiling Three Preludes alongside well-loved works by three of his greatest Austrian forebears - Haydn, Mozart and Schubert. Following meticulous examination of the original scores, Briggs sensitively translates the authentic character of each work to the resources of a modern piano with revelatory results.
