Clara Schumann: Piano Music Vol. 1

Armengaud, Jean-Pierre

GP 930

CLARA SCHUMANN was one of the most famous of all 19th-century piano virtuosos, admired by contemporaries such as Liszt and Thalberg. Her piano works never succumb to stereotype and the Romances anticipate the sonority of Brahms’ late music for piano. Her Variations, Op. 20 entwines Robert Schumann’s themes with her own in music of touching intimacy. The Preludes and Fugues reflect Clara’s love of Bach. This first volume of her complete music for solo piano is performed by the distinguished French pianist, Jean-Pierre Armengaud, who has written about Robert and Clara Schumann as well as having organised a symposium devoted to them
