Schumann Lœuvre pour piano vol 15 Uhlig - HC17041 - Hänssler Classic - Classique

For over 60 years, repeated efforts have been made to capture on sound carriers (first vinyl, then CD) Robert Schumann’s Complete Works for Piano solo, a fascinatingly broad and varied spectrum ranging from highly virtuosic pieces for the concert hall and valuable literature for teaching purposes. The first true complete recording of Robert Schumann’s works for piano solo on 17 CDs (in 15 volumes), played by Florian Uhlig, seeks for the first time to offer imaginative compilations on CD (e.g. “Robert Schumann and the Sonata”, “The Young Piano Virtuoso”, “Schumann in Vienna”, “Schumann and Counterpoint”, “Variations”) containing all original works for pianoforte written between 1830 and 1854 according to the newest critical editions and/or first editions. Several of these CDs include premiere recordings. Florian Uhlig was born in Düsseldorf. He studied in London at the Royal College of Music and the Royal Academy of Music. Florian Uhlig made his orchestral debut at the Barbican in London in 1997. Since 2019 he holds the position of a Professor of Piano at the Musikhochschule Lübeck.
