Love List: Classical & Romantic Music by Jonathan Biss

Biss is one of the world’s most sought-after pianists, a regular performer with major orchestras, concert halls and festivals around the globe and co-Artistic Director of Marlboro Music. He is a renowned teacher, writer and musical thinker who fully immerses himself in projects close to his heart.

For his Love List, Jonathan has selected profound and moving recordings of Brahms, Schubert, Schumann and Beethoven - music he loves. So much so, that he even produced his own recordings of Beethoven's complete sonatas.

“Making a list of my favourite recordings was a real mission impossible, given the wealth of options to choose from. But each of these tracks has moved and inspired me more than I can say — in many cases, for nearly my entire life.”

Discover the intensity and power of Classical and Romantic music with this sublime Love List.

“If you polled ten classical musicians on the question of what they’d like to have played at their funeral, I suspect five would choose this movement. It is not difficult to understand why: on top of the astonishing beauty of the music, there is little to say about life, and death, that Schubert doesn’t manage to say here.”
