Schumann: Kreisleriana, Symphonic Studies

After a notable Debussy recital hailed by the international press, Nelson Goerner continues his collaboration with Zig-Zag Territoires in the company of another composer: Robert Schumann. On the programme: two emblematic works from Schumanns universe: the Etudes Symphoniques, Op. 13 (including the posthumous etudes) and Kreisleriana, Op. 16, plus a short piece about which Schumann said that it was the most difficult piece ever written: the Toccata, Op. 7. This new recording clearly demonstrates the fantastic range of Nelson Goerners talent, felicitously combining a highly rigorous approach; exceptional generosity and richness of sound.
