Gabriele Carcano consciously took his time with this debut CD: "I waited such a long time in order to play a program with which I can express who I am." Carcano knew he had to include the Variations, Op. 9 by Schumann. He also decided to round out the album with Brahms's Sonata, Op. 5 and Scherzo in E-Flat Minor, Op. 4. Praised by the Süddeutsche Zeitung as a "sculptor of sound" and "aesthete" after his Munich debut, Gabriele Carcano is sure to astound every listener.
