Tamas Vasary plays Schumann:
- Carnaval, Kinderszenen and other piano works.
Tamás Vásáry became well-known as a virtuoso pianist in Hungary, but he flourished internationally in the 1960’s following his departure to the West.
Vásáry is best known for his interpretations of Chopin, though he also gained acclaim for his performances of Rachmaninov, Liszt, Brahms, Mozart, and Bach.
Vásáry has a crisp performance style that is suited for both Baroque and Classical works, as well as a lush, lyrical manner appropriate for performing Romantic and post-Romantic music.
On this CD we hear the following:
Schumann:
- Carnaval, Op. 9
- Romance in F sharp major, Op. 28 No. 2
- Fantasie in C major, Op. 17
- Kinderszenen, Op. 15
