Marina Samson-Primachenko is one of the most outstanding representatives of the Russian piano school. Among her other accomplishments, she was a student of Heinrich Neuhaus. In her past, she was considered a miraculous child, and she started acting at the age of four. She currently acts pedagogically at the Schola cantorum in Paris and often conducts master classes in Europe, along with well-known authors. She also likes the rare repertoire – for example, she has chosen to perform the preserved autographs of Borise Pasternaka. For two her new piano albums with ArcoDiva she has chosen to interpret the romantic poet Robert Schumann. Thisalbum is the first installment in her project, and includes Schumann’s Intermezzi, Op. 4, and Symphonische Etuden in Form von Variationen, Op. 13.
