De la Salle Plays Schumann

These three works offer a genuine journey, full of con-trasts, in which the listener can easily find wonder, surprise, and kaleidoscopic shifts from one emotion to another. I like it when you dont ever settle into a com-fort zone. Im looking for emotions thats what guides me. These pieces arent for children, but assume the character of innocence and candour that one finds in childhood. Id even go so far as to say that they adopt the tone of late adolescence and early adulthood."" - Lise de la Salle Alongside the powerful concertos by Rachmaninoff, Liszt, Prokofiev or Chopin she plays all over the world, Lise de la Salle has a special link 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.A repertoire in which she has a lot to say and reveal.
