András Schiff (piano)
A decade after his highly acclaimed ‘In Concert’ album (4721192), master pianist András Schiff continues his documentation of Robert Schumann’s music in a specially-priced 2-CD set recorded in Germany at Neumarkt’s Reutstadl.
Schumann:
Fantasie in C major, Op. 17
Kinderszenen, Op. 15
Papillons, Op. 2
Piano Sonata No. 1 in F sharp minor, Op. 11
Theme with Variations in E flat major WoO 24 ('Geistervariationen')
Waldszenen, Op. 82
"If you want the living definition of virtuoso pedalling, listen to Andras Schiff in the 'Aria' movement of Schumann's F sharp minor Sonata...It's the most impressive realisation of Schumann's challenging pedal markings that I have ever heard. Schiff's ability to 'voice' piano writing is perhaps his outstanding feature as a performer...the whole set is full of the pure, Olympian beauty and intellectual sharpness that characterise Schiff at his finest."
BBC Music Magazine - November 2011 ****
"Schiff brings a touching intimacy to the suites of short character pieces that make up Papillons, Kinderszenen and Waldszenen, while relishing the grander gestures of the C major Fantasie that makes this absorbing release more so, for Schiff plays Schumann's original ending of the third movement (he tracked it down in the 1970s) which returns to the first Beethoven quote that ends the first movement."
