| |  | Schumann: Complete Works for Piano and Orchestra
Uhlig’s playing is marked by curiosity for all facets of music. His previous Schumann CD (HAEN 98603) was very well received; “Florian Uhlig fairly bristles with musicianship” BBC Music Magazine. “Effectively, this single disc gathers together Schumann's viable piano-orchestral works...It may be invidious to compare Uhlig's Concerto with countless great recordings of the past but his advocacy of the shorter works is more than welcome and augurs well as his Schumann survey continues.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2011 “Florian Uhlig plays both [the Abegg and the Konzertsatz] with obvious dedication and requisite bravura, and the recently formed German Radio Philharmonie Saarbrücken Kaiserlauten seems to acquit itself well under conductor Christoph Poppen.” International Record Review, December 2010 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Idil Biret Solo Edition 4 - Schumann
‘The most exciting young pianist to come to Montreal in years. She has a personal magnetism that belongs only to a certain type of virtuoso performer, one who succeeds in hypnotizing you no matter how what he or she is playing… Miss Biret is one of the finest natural Schumann players I have ever come across. In fact I cannot recall ever hearing a better all round performance of Schumann’s Fantasiestücke in any concert hall in this city.’ – The Montreal Star, Canada | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

| |  | Schumann: Complete Piano Works Volume 2The Young Virtuoso
This series is a complete recording of the piano works of Schumann, and includes pieces which have never been available before on LP or CD. “Uhlig does Schumann proud in every respect. He mantains an admirable balance of brilliance and good sense, with superb voicing, delineating every silken skein of the cat-'s cradle textures with clarity and grace. And though the music celebrates virtuosity - to which Uhlig rises impeccably - there's still a touching humility to his interpretations.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2012 **** | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

| |  | Schumann - Piano Works & Chamber Music XI
The final disc of the complete works for piano and piano chamber music, confirms Eric Lesage as THE specialist in Schumann’s repertoire. The harvest of outstanding reviews, for his recordings as much as for his numerous concerts across the globe, promises a brilliant future for this latest reference, which ends by the alpha and omega of his pianistic creation. It opens on the Rhine, in Mannheim, with the charming Variations on the name ‘Abegg’ , of 1830, and closes in Düsseldorf with the mysterious variations, called Geistervariationen, composed and copied out in February 1854, just before and immediately after his attempted suicide in the Rhine, leading to his permanent internment in Endenich (Bonn), facing the sacred river of the Germans… “[Carnaval] draws from Le Sage a performance which triumphs unobtrusively over extreme familiarity to create an aura of spontaneity and freshness which beguiles the ear and the imagination alike. This is pianism and msuicianship of a rare order.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2011 *** | | | (also available to download from $21.00) | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days.
