Schumann: Davidsbündlertänze, Humoreske, Rêverie & L’oiseau prophète

Newly remastered, this 1977 EMI recording highlights Alexis Weissenberg’s idiosyncratic affinity for Schumann. Bringing his crystalline touch and razor-sharp intellect to the Davidsbündlertänze and Humoreske, Weissenberg lays bare the composer's inner turmoil, offset by the exquisite introspection of Vogel als Prophet and Träumerei. An arresting, incisive vision of Romantic passion.
