CD Reviews

Amazing price on Schumann's best works

Amy | 07/31/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Broadly speaking Schumann wrote two different kinds of piano works. Large scale abstract works in traditional forms such as sonatas and variations and works in a genre he created himself. The suite of small character pieces united by an emotional thread, often taking their inspiration from literature. The three works on this disc fall into the latter category and the programme opens with Papillons, only his second published work and arguably his first masterpiece. Its inspiration I believe comes from the description of a masked ball in the novel Flegeljahre by Jean Paul. Carnaval inhabits the same world as Papillons but on a larger scale. It is probably Schumann's most popular piano work and has been recorded by all the great pianists from Rachmaninov onwards. Kenderszenen consisted of 13 pieces takes its inspiration from Robert Schumann's love for his fiance Clara Wieck and of his memories of when he was a child. All these works are staples of the Romantic piano repertoire, which Robert Schumann is most noted for. There is a rare poetry and spontaneity in these performances. When I first came across this cd on Amazon months ago, I thought for $2.99, the pianist and sound must be of low standard since I was unable to listen to samples on my media player, but I very was very pleasantly surprised. I wish Amazon had more great deals like this.
