Very much surprised by this apparently unknown interpretatio, April 20, 2002
This review is from: Schumann: Piano Concerto in A minor / Symphony 3 "Rhenish" / Kinderszenen / Davidsbundlertanze / Dichterliebe / Fantasiestucke / String Quartet in A (Audio CD)
I compared almost 30 interpretations of the Schumann piano concerto and ended up with 3 : Abbado/Pires, Karajan/Zimerman and a surprising one : "Robert Schumann: Meisterwerke Zum Kennenlernen" with the czech pianist Marian Lapsansky. 1) Pires plays with so much delicacy and introspection, the flow of keytrokes is seamless : very refreshing and compelling esp. for the 1st & 2nd movement. 2) Zimerman displays great virtuosity without playing too fast, esp. in the 3rd movement which is arresting. 3) the czech interpretation lays in-between. I was surprised an unknown interpretation could be that good.
