What a Pianist!

 

Lise De La Salle plays Schumann.

Lise De La Salle has a special connection with Robert Schumann‘s early piano pieces.

She chose the Abegg Variations op.1, “Kinderszenen” op.15, and the Fantasie in C major op.17 for her first recording dedicated to the German romantic master.

Schumann’s music represents a repertoire in which Ms. De La Salle has a lot to say and to reveal.

Now here she is again, but this time in Schubert’s Lied called “Ständchen”:

 

 

I will end this post with Ms. De La Salle performing the lyrical Chopin Piano Concerto No.2, second movement:
