Schumann: Davidsbündlertänze, Op. 6 & Humoresque, Op. 20

Part of our retrospective dedicated to the pianist and benedictine monk Thierry de Brunhoff. All the recordings made for Pathé during his very brief career have been put online for the very first time. His discretion, his infinite ease with the piano, his deep understanding of the scores and his sudden decision to leave secular life have shrouded him in an aura of mystery, making him a veritable legend in piano circles. The unprecedented refinement he displays in this Schumann collection is one of the supreme testimonies to this incomparable talent, which we only wish he had graced us with for longer.
