Tessa Birnie (piano)

[ ABC Classics / 3 CD Box Set ]

Release Date: Tuesday 20 May 2008

ABC Classics launches its new Australian Masters series with a 3-CD collection featuring Tessa Birnie's legendary interpretation of Schubert's B-flat major Piano Sonata and ground-breaking performance of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in the lower key of B minor.

Birnie was born in New Zealand but made her home in Australia; regarded as one of the world's foremost interpreters of Schubert, she was a profound musical thinker as well as a virtuoso, and these recorded performances capture many of the highlights from her 40-year career.
