This exciting German pianist continues his well-received traversal of the epitome of German Romantic music with a generously filled recital of some of Schumann’s most testing and poetic works. The Symphonic Studies fulfil their title in exploring advanced composition, bravura piano technique, unspecified scene painting and ‘character’ depiction, making a thrilling journey from ‘pathétique’ to ‘symphonic’ towards the unstoppable momentum of the extended finale.

Composer: Robert Schumann
Artist: Wolfram Schmitt-Leonardy piano
