I quite agree with kasyapa.

The full range of the piano is used by the pianist, from pp to fff.

Also the rather 'split personality' of Schumann (Eusebio/Florestan) is portrayed very eloquently.

Beautiful tone.

@rbooy3 - the tone is what keeps me coming back. such breathing space, yet fullness, yet remarkable fortes at the end. this person knows how to get *inside* the piano and bring out the tonal capacities.

have been listening a number of times. i think this pianist has the secret of the life-giving tone that a few in each generation does. i'll clearly have to listen to more. :)

some curious cuts and alterations. got some passion there.
