Robert Schumann was the master of the miniature, the small form, the sketch characterising a person, a landscape, a mood or an idea. The three piano cycles presented on this CD offer a wide variety of emotions, from the sublime calm of a summer evening (Des Abends), the intimacy of a dream (Träumerei), the soaring of young passion (Aufschwung) to the sinister atmosphere of a pitch dark night (In der Nacht).
Hungarian‐born pianist Klára Würtz is the ideal guide in this Schumannesque fancy world: "poetry and sweep.. poignant lyricism..the finest complete Schumann cycle to have been recorded by one pianist…"(Jed Distler, Classics Today).
