The commercial release is finally here! Download this Special Edition Digital Download Album of Charlie Albright’s The Schubert Series: Part 2 (Live), the second of a 3-part all-Schubert series of albums recorded live in concert.

This version of The Schubert Series: Part 2 (Live) includes a bonus track live improvisation of Amazing Grace, not currently available anywhere from any third-party retailer or streaming service.  This track is only available directly from CharlieAlbright.com.

Commercially released in 2020, this compilation includes the Schubert Six Moments Musicaux D. 780 Op. 94, the iconic Schubert A Major Sonata D. 959, and a live improvisation performed as an encore…all with unbelievable artistry and finesse.  

In a review of this concert, the Boston Musical Intelligencer raved that “His Schubert was ravishing, imaginative, poetic—full of poignancy and lyricism. It would seem Albright is a born Schubert player, whose taste is simply impeccable. His interpretation sounded spontaneous, but this was also heartfelt, mature playing. Everything had been thought out by a mind brimming with musical intelligence. Albright is a master of improvisation, and treated the audience to a fanciful three-minute riff on a short Schubertian-sounding theme. I have heard him do this musical stunt before—there are also examples on YouTube. Each time Albright’s musical imagination and spontaneity amaze.”

Track List:
