Free Music Review: Amazing Schumann
Hit: 5 Stars
What a quirky piece "Kreisleriana" must have seemed to Schumann's contemporaries. I find it difficult, even at this late date (I've been listening to the work for over 50 years), to grasp the work as a whole. Is it just a grab-bag of odds and ends, thrown together willy-nilly? Or is there a coherent scenario tying the whole thing together? I don't know. I do know it's a major task for the performer to make the piece work. Despite all that, what an intriguing creation! Biss takes his time, not that his total timing is longer than most performers, but his interpretation is broad and deliberate; it fits this music very well. He lets it breathe. The "Fantasie" and "Arabesque" make lovely bookends on this recording.
Schumann: Fantasie; Kreisleriana; Arabeske Poster
This is a beautiful CD, filled with fine, unaffected playing that gets to the heart of the music. The Arabesque is an easy-going piece with a surprisingly deep and stunning finale. Biss's graceful reading flows naturally, even with occasionally almost-dangerously swift tempi. The Kreisleriana is more daring. Biss is not afraid to make a grand noise when called for. Schumann the young composer was at his most expressive and inspired here, and this performance is on a consistently intriguing level, whether at a whisper or a roar. The large-scaled Fantasia, an expression of Robert's love for Clara, is given a dreamy, romantic reading in the first movement, with ardor and power as the work continues; the March sounds grand and instrumental. Biss's technique is superb, but like the greatest pianists (or actors or singers), it isn't what you notice first. The stream of music he produces is always expressive and never showy for its own sake. Highly recommended. --Robert LevineClassical Music CDs
