'Three cheers for Avie, which is once again on hand to remind us why Imogen Cooper is second to none in Schubert,' writes David Nice in BBC Music Magazine of the pianist's latest recital disc (Avie AV2157). 'The sound she so carefully makes is a glorious companion throughout, casting radiance on the first two Moments Musicaux.'

Your free download this week is the second of the six Moments Musicaux, D780, a collection of piano pieces Schubert penned between 1823-28. 'My relationship with Schubert goes back many years but has lost none of the passion of the early encounters,' say Cooper. 'The immense richness, emotional, musical and human [of this piano music], is priceless.'
