Florian Uhlig, piano

Already at its 9th installment, Florian Uhlig continues his explorations as he draws near the conclusion of the first truly complete edition of the two-handed piano music of Robert Schumann. With the Kinderszenen op. 15 and the Novelletten op. 21, as well as hitherto largely neglected contemporaneous pieces, Uhlig explores the musical relationship of Robert and Clara. This most famous of musical couplings was of course - gorgeous! Hardly any other pianist has such a feeling for the hidden undercurrents of Schumann’s scores, and no other pianist can send the sparks flying from the surface of Schumann's music with as much enthusiasm. A true discovery for the Schumann connoisseur. Joachim Draheim’s entertaining booklet notes are once again a treasure trove of knowledge that will delight both the Schumann scholar and the casual listener.
