One of the great pianists of our time, Elisabeth Leonskaja is celebrated for her refined & virtuosic touch, her name is also to be found among international recitalists in the most prominent piano series of major musical centres of the world.
In this Schumann anthology, Leonskaja displays the full extent of both her love for the composer and her artistry, with the expressiveness and clarity that characterize her playing, making this recording a true Schumannesque testament from this great lady of the piano.
Many of these works are cycles of short pieces (Papillons, Variations, Symphonic Etudes) or sequences of miniatures, sometimes light and dance-like, sometimes virtuosic, but always imbued with poetry and depth.
