CD Reviews

Great Schumann playing...
M. R. Simpson | St. Davids, PA | 04/05/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"For those listeners on the lookout for a pianist that is relatively unknown, habitually snubbed by the major record labels year after year, yet among the finest pianists in the world today (as was Nelson Friere until Decca finally came to their senses), well, you have found one. These are some of the most beautifully shaped, most poetic, and most involving Schumann performances in the current catalogue. Why is Wirssaladze not better known in the west????? Suffice it to say that the great Sviatoslav Richter held her Schumann in high regard: after one of her recitals he called it "incomparable," and claimed that he hadn't heard such great Schumann playing since Heinrich Neuhaus, who was Richter's teacher."

"As my personnel listenning experience, it's my first time to try Wissaladze's music from this disc. The only reason is that I was a Schumann's lover, and I heared her was a Schumann's expert. In fact, I must tell to all reviewers that I didn't disappoint it.

How did to perform Schumann successfully? I believe it's not easy to describe with popular thoughts, however, it shouldn be existed with colorful tone and heavy emotions. Personelly I think to add more is important is how to balance the emotions and tones. For this point, Wissaladze reach this state to show excellent Schumann.

So I recommand this disc to all and I will collect more of her discs now."
