About

Prestige Edition

More than 15 years since her acclaimed album of Carnaval and Kreisleriana, Mitsuko Uchida marks the Schumann bicentenary 2010 with her first recordings of two of his best-loved works for solo piano - Davidsbündlertänze and Fantasie.

With this new album, recorded at the Maltings at Snape, Dame Mitsuko shares the wealth of her experience as a Schumann interpreter, bringing to these enigmatic, questing pieces her celebrated musicality and depth of feeling.

Written after Schumann was again in touch with his beloved Clara – whose father was determined she should never marry him – the Davidsbündlertänze are at once an outpouring of Schumann’s feelings for her and a struggle between the two sides of the composer’s own musical nature.

Fantasie
is a deeply introspective soliloquy, beautifully reflected through the emotional complexity of Mitsuko Uchida's pianism.
