Before the last two instalments of the cycle at HKU MUSE, he spoke with Prof. Daniel Chua about interpreting Schubert's works, including the last three sonatas. They explored the trilogy's charming lyricism, profound silences, and the harrowing moments of despair and hope that reflect aformidable pursuit of life's meaning.
