Gorgeous!  A great combination of sensitivity and precision. I'd love to hear the other movments.

Every recording of hers that I hear makes me think, if ONLY she'd recorded more! Positively exquisite, and what a singing tone in the middle section!

[snaaptaker]

Sublime. She's my all-time favorite pianist.

A great way to start the Schumann year 2010!

Hi Erwin! Is it really a "Schumann only" year? How about Chopin? Same year born, 3 months older, he was...

I'll be promoting both this year, no matter what.. ;-)

Cheers!

[pianopera]

Yes I know...double jubilee!

[snaaptaker]

@xper2xper OK, now it's Liszt's year. If only Dame Myra had recorded some Liszt... :-)) ((-:

@snaaptaker

Well, maybe not of Hess, but some interesting Liszt performances remain to be posted still...

How about Cherkassky's Liszt ? Would that be interesting?

;-)

[snaaptaker]

@xper2xper Yes, indeed, that would be VERY interesting! :-))
