Enregistrements

Premier Choix

Yuri Egorov

1978

Gil's top choice. Egorov 'really does a wonderful job of playing up the shifting moods between the dramatic, the virtuosic, and the soft and poetic, beautiful tones.' 'Just a wonderful version.'

Également Recommandés

Vladimir Horowitz

1969

'One of the classic solo piano recordings.' It has 'incredible virtuosity' and 'wonderful finger work,' but is especially 'exemplary' for the 'reflective tone... just really immaculate in the softer sections.' 'Excellent sound quality.'

Radu Lupu

1993

Lupu 'really inhabits the largeness of this work' with his 'large, deep, colorful tone,' 'wonderful romantic phrasing,' and 'wonderful shifting of the moods.' 'Excellent sound.'

Wilhelm Kempff

1956

An 'unmissable version' from a 'wonderful Schumann interpreter.' Kempff's 'consummate artistry comes out' in this 'illuminating artistic interpretation' with his 'beautiful singing tone.'

Label : Phillips (Great Pianist series) · 1956

Alfred Cortot

1935

An 'unmissable interpretation' recommended 'regardless of the technique.' Cortot has a 'romantic soul that... just eats up the different moods of this work. So he really goes for it dramatically.'

Josef Hofmann

1938 Live, Casimir Hall Recital (Incomplete)

'Unmissable,' though it's missing a couple of numbers. 'His technical ability is off the charts. You could even say that he's showing off... he just goes off. It's just really something to hear.' Sound is 'a little bit noisy.'
