Digital Booklet
|
|||||
In this new album Danny Driver brings his impeccable pianism, consummate style and imagination to Schumann’s "Novelletten" and "Nachtstücke", less well-known sets from his extraordinary output for the piano.
Schumann wrote "Nachtstücke", a set of four character pieces, upon the death of his brother, and would have entitled it ‘Corpse Fantasia’ were it not for Clara’s intervention. The eight pieces of the "Novelletten" form what is at once the largest and the least known among Schumann’s major piano cycles. The music itself is of consistently high quality (years later, Schumann himself still regarded this among his most successful works), and clearly written in an exultant mood.
