Pianist Marino Nahon is preparing a solo recording devoted to Schubert’s Fantasies, with a Da Vinci Classics release planned for October 2027.

Alongside his forthcoming Hugo Wolf album with soprano Joo Cho, Marino Nahon will turn to Schubert in a new solo piano project. The recording places the idea of the fantasy at the centre of its programme, bringing together works that approach the keyboard through different scales and kinds of musical continuity.

The announced programme includes the Wanderer Fantasy, D. 760, and the G-major Sonata, D. 894, alongside further fantasy works. The final tracklist and album title will be presented as the project develops.

For listeners familiar with Nahon’s work in song, this forthcoming album offers another perspective on the pianist. The focus moves from the exchange between voice and keyboard to the possibilities of the piano alone: its changing registers, its capacity to sustain a melodic line, and the relationships a performer can establish between contrasting sections.

Recording sessions are planned for December 2026. Release is scheduled for October 2027, allowing the subsequent production stages to take place after the sessions.

Nahon’s existing Da Vinci Classics discography includes collaborations with Joo Cho in Schubert’s Die schöne Müllerin and in the songs of Schumann, Strauss and Schoenberg. This new solo project will bring a further part of his engagement with Schubert to the catalogue.
