From the start, it was literature and poetry which stimulated Schumann. His music is poetic, narrative and descriptive. Schumann preferred small forms, individual pieces that he often compiled into sets like the Intermezzi, Impromptus, Albumbletter and Kinderszenen, as well as the Fantasiestucke presented on this recording.

Bulgarian pianist Martin Ivanov, who attained great international reputation for his debut album with the waltzes by Frederic Chopin, dedicates his second release to the music of Robert Schumann. The Fantasy Pieces Op. 12 as well as the Novelletes Op. 21 were composed during a period in Schumann's life which was affected by the death of his mother, the forced separation from Clara, and the estrangement from his father. Much of the cheerfulness and much of the deadly seriousness in this music has this biographical background; also, Schumann probably always thought of his beloved Clara as a possible interpreter of these works. Martin Ivanov accomplishes once again to boast with supreme technical accuracy and deep emotional intuition. Born in 1990, Ivanov began his piano studies with his mother, who taught him through his high school education at the National School of Arts in Ruse, Bulgaria where he graduated in 2009. Since 2012, Martin has been studying with the very active pianist and conductor Professor Stefan Vladar. His solo career has taken him to festivals and competitions across Europe, where he has found great success.

The Steinway used by TACET makes the three composers seem like contemporaries - that's how present and delicate this sound is. It fully meets the highest standards. How wonderful it is the way the grand piabno learns to sing under Mahler's and Reinecke's touch. It is for this reason, above all, that it is worth hearing this recording, even if one already knows the recording of the three composers from other productions: The sound speaks for itself. 4009850017905 TCET179.2 19548012 .00 23.99 .24 TACET RECORDS COMPACT DISCS CLASSICAL CHAMBER MUSIC & RECITALS 01/15/2010 https://media.aent-m.com/graphics/items/sdimages/c/500/9/4/2/7/1997249.jpg 2 1 N SCHUMANN / AURYN QUARTET AURYN SERIES 25: PIANO QUARTET OP. 47 & PIANO This coupling of Schumann's two most popular piano chamber pieces is in every way a winner" (Fanfare)
