That may be debatable, but what's not in doubt is the sensitivity on view in this new Schumann recording. Opening with the Sonata No.1, Kissin's playing has what is best described as an unironic sincerity: his clean and unfussy approach lets Schumann's mercurial fancy soar into the empyrean. And in both this and \u003ci\u003eCarnival\u003c\/i\u003e which follows it, he finds exactly the right interplay between light and shade, between humor, gravity and sadness. The \"Preamble\" may be over-pedalled to a point where it's just a hurtling blur, but everything else is a delight. \"Florestan\" becomes a study in constantly-checked turbulence, seguing beautifully into a very coquettish \"Coquette\". \"Chiarina\" is nobly firm-toned, \"Chopin\" notably unsentimental, \"Paganini\" is suitably dazzling; the last four scenes wind gracefully to a magnificently star-spangle! d conclusion. All's to one thing wrought.-- \u003ci\u003eMichael Church\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 090266388523\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0090266388523\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42404084711683,"sku":"MB-C586-G4YI","price":12.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/51yOLRDb2vL.jpg?v=1643521119","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/schumann-carnaval","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
