Description

It wasn't that long ago when every recording of Clara Schumann's music was considered a rarity. Today, at least her magnificent piano oeuvre is already part of the established repertoire. And as long as there are such successful new recordings as this album by the American pianist Mika Sasaki (yes, despite the name, she was born in New Jersey), this can only be a benefit for Clara Schumann's music. The fact that the album is offered by Yarlung Records as, one might almost say, a gold-plated high-end sound sculpture makes things even more wonderful. A very warm recommendation!!!
