Schumann

Schumann
- Canadian pianist Jan Lisiecki releases his third album for Deutsche Grammophon which features Schumann's works for piano and orchestra
Jans new album is a dream come true for the 20-year old pianist: He recorded with Antonio Pappano and the Orchestra dell Accademia Nazionale di S. Cecilia Schumann s works for piano and orchestra.

The recording follows his very successful Proms Debut on 19 July 2013 with Schumann s Piano Concerto.

Now it is coming: Jans carefully prepared and long awaited third album for DG. The Schumann Piano Concerto is a work that leaves a lot of room for the individual approach. It s not at all about virtuosity and technical brilliance but calls instead for a detailed and intimate dialogue between pianist and orchestra: chamber music on a grand scale.

Jan offers a fresh, thoughtful and emotional interpretation. He says: It is almost as if Schumann left to the musician something to say. So I hope that the audience simply hears my version of this concerto and I hope they enjoy it.

The album is completed by rarely performed and recorded original works for piano and orchestra by Schumann:
With op. 134 Jan in fact adds a work never recorded before to the DG catalogue!
Op. 92 was last recorded by Wilhelm Kempff/BRSO/Kubelik 42 years ago in 1973 and DG licensed a recording with Sviatoslav Richter/Warsaw NPO/Wislocki from 1959.
