Schumann: Novelletten, Kreisleriana - Adam Laloum

Harmonia Mundi  HMM902748

Adam Laloum (piano)


Poet of the keyboard Adam Laloum immerses us in the kaleidoscopic world of Schumann: the famous Kreisleriana and their outbursts of passion and reverie heard alongside the rather rarer Novelletten, a theatre of the intimate and fantastic. Laloum revels in the emotional riches of a piano indwelt by the inner voice of romanticism.
