CD Reviews

A must-have for any Schumann lover...

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Time magazine named Alicia de Larrocha as one of the most outstanding pianists of her generation, and one of her best qualities is that she breathes a lot of life into the music she performs. If you then take into account the greatly melodic nature of Schumann's work, you'll understand why I gave this CD set five stars. The music will explode from your speakers in a way that most composer/performer combinations can't provide. Given also the value of this set, in that you're buying two CDs for what some websites would charge you for one, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't give this a try."
