Schumann C

A personal and touching tribute from Benjamin Appl to his mentor [DHa]

A cornucopia of wonderful songs, superbly sung, for every lover of art songs to delve into [GF]

Shelest makes one wonder why these gems are not in the repertoire of many more pianists [RCh]

A thought-provoking recording of Schumann and Liszt on an 1856 Erard [RMas]

A decent opening disc for this worthy project but it would not be my first choice [RCh]

An outstanding account of Clara’s concerto, but Robert’s is less convincing [DJB]

An exploratory and attractive programme let down by the piano sound [RCh]

A delightful easy-listening programme with a couple of more substantial morsels [GF]

Magnificent playing weaves together the music of this intimately connected trio [RCh]

Women composers showing themselves more than a match for the men! [DMD]
