Synopsis

Album Description
If one were to list some of the supreme masterpieces of piano literature, Schumann's Fantasia in C Major, Opus 17 would be in that Pantheon. Every marvelous page contains the full measure of Schumann's passion. His Etudes Symphoniques, Opus 13 (here, complete with the five posthumous variations) is also a rich, glowing, intensely personal musical work. The highly difficult and devilishly virtuosic Toccata in C, Opus 7, on this disc was taken from a live performance. These three great piano works are performed by the Romantic Master of the piano, Grammy® award winner Earl Wild. Mastered by Ivory Classics using 24-bit HDCD technology.
