In Reply to: Schumann piano cont. posted by MichaelV8 on March 18, 2012 at 17:08:03:
Thank you all for your comments. I have learned a lot more than what I'd expected. About Schumann, some of the pianists, and myself. To add to all the recordings that I've heard so far, I just played Curzon's recordings of the Fantasy and Kinderszenen on Decca.
Very worthy recording. I looked up Haggin and this was the one he recommended for the Fantasy.
I cannot believe that after all this time, I've yet to come up with a clear favorite. There are many good ones. I will have to let this cook for awhile. Just like I had to do with the Appassionata Sonata.
