Contents: Robert Schumann: Sonata No.1 Papillons Romance Vogel als Prophet Aufschwung Artists: Earl Wild piano
Recorded Date: February 1984 at the Church of St.Barnabas, London, piano: Bösendorfer Producer: Philip G. Moores Engineer: Mike Skeet Piano Technician: Michael Marney Schumann is probably not the first composer brought to mind in connection with this particular master of the keyboard, and it was therefore an unexpected pleasure to encounter these deeply felt, poetic performances. Wild would seem to have a real affinity with the music of this troubled romantic. There can be nothing but praise for such sensitive and technically perfect playing.
