To say that Paolo Giacometti measures up well to the classic versions is to say a great deal. His playing has all the energy, sparkle, poetry and technical finish you could wish. He approaches the Dvorák with an admirable mixture of respect and enjoyment. And his Schumann is as urgent as the composer's markings suggest it should be, yet without sacrificing natural characterisation for the sake of making that point. Nor do the Dutch orchestra and conductor sound in any way out of their depth; on the contrary, they're clearly as engaged as their soloist in warm, lively music-making. The Channel Classics recording is also rich and well balanced. If the Schumann/ Dvorák coupling is just what you're looking for, there's no need to hesitate.
