Schumann: Piano Works (Abegg Variations Op.1, Kinderszenen Op.15, Arabesque in C Major op.18, Waldszenen op.82) – Luca Delle Donne

This Da Vinci Classics album offers an exciting perspective on the world of Schumann’s miniature pieces, collected into cycles such as Kinderszenen or Waldszenen, and complemented by the Abegg Variations and Arabeske. The musician’s poetic tone, his love for the small, light nuances, his attention to the finest details of expression and psychology, his attraction for the natural and the supernatural, the innocence of childhood and the enchantement of the woods: all this concurs to create an itinerary where the most typical traits of Romanticis are encountered. The Romantics loved aphorisms, nature, childhood, love, the supernatural and the fantastic, dreams and visions: all of this is found here, in a touching itinerary among some of Schumann’s finest piano works.
