Advice for Schumann "Kreisleriana"
Simon Stroughair
Hi Folks,
Anyone got any opinions on the best recording of Kreisleriana by Schumann?
Has anyone heard the Sokolov performance on Opus 111? How is it?
Sound quality is very important to me, so please include this in your
assessment.
Ta,
Si

You won't go wrong with Volodya Horowitz on Sony or Yves Nat on
EMI. Nat's comes in a cheap box which collects his Schumann
recordings - essential listening for the Schumann fan. If you
can find it, Reine Gianoli's recording is also first-rate
(it was on Ades, as part of her complete Schumann cycle).

I'm not usually a Horowitz fan, but his _Kreisleriana_ is terrific.

Horowitz' 1968 recording on CBSony is still the standard by which
all others are judged.

I am a big fan of Schumann's solo piano music and was wondering if there
are any other "standards by which all others are judged." Suggestions?

Definitely agree. Though, some of VH's rethinking in various sections
of his later DG recording are interesting.

After listening to Horowitz play this, no one, not even Argerich,
comes close in really understanding this piece. (The same would also
apply to her coupling, Kreisleriana, on DG.) OK, I haven't heard the
Moravec, but indeed, it's fascinating to compare the different
Horowitz accounts of Kinderszenen. He had such affection for this
music! It's hard to take other accounts in consideration.

Yes, but Richter's live recording outshines them all in terms of ferocity,
dynamic extremes and vigour. I stick to that one.

>No, I have to say no one even comes close to Richter here.
We leave that to discussion. I still believe that Kempff's piano sound in that
DG recording is unsurpassed. Those mild and yet prominent bass lines still makes
my skin crawl for the sheer beauty of sound. In Zhukov's recording I am particularly
attracted to the unpretentious and very modest approach, actually quite close to
Richter's rendition.

We leave that to discussion again. I feel particularly attracted by Lipatti's
approach to the finale. Some of ABM's recording sound too haste to please my taste.

Brawling again. I have listened to both recordings numerous times. You know my taste
and when I prefer a recording of a Boesendorfer than Richter's Steinway recording, it
simply cannot be *way* worse, can it? :-)

Don't know the Moravec one. Can you try to describe it? BTW, as to Horowitz,
I really <Double-flame proof suit on> prefer the 1982 London version.

Dunno Bashkirov, but Richter recommendation heartily seconded, especially the live
one from Praha. Fischer's approach is not my cup of tea in that instance. It's a
matter of taste I guess.

Yves Nat recorded the best complete set of the Novelettes. He
outplays Richter and everyone else. Yves Nat Schumann 4-CD set is a
mandatory purchase for anyone interested in Schumann's piano music.
If I have to pick the one pianist who shows the most insight into
Schumann's music it would be Yves Nat.

Since you refer to Pollini in the Op. 11, you _cannot_ possibly have
listened to the Sofronitsky version. Or the Gilels, for that matter.

BBC Music Magazine once had a very good CD of Imogen Cooper performing
Kreisleriana. I think Cooper is a very underrated pianist(Penguin Guide says
the same thing on her Beethoven), and compared to her non-nonsense approach,
Horowitz sounds a little erratic and senile to me(I have only the recording of
his rendition in 1983. How many times has he recorded the piece?) You can
sometimes find the BBC CD in a good used record store for $1.99.

Seconded. I can certainly sympathize with Koji though. I too had thought
Pollini's op. 11 was great until I heard Gilels - then I forgot about it
very quickly.

Seconded, this CD was a very pleasant surprise, considering the, um,
rather variable quality of the BBC mag disks. However, it doesn't really
displace Horowitz. I believe his preferred recording is on CBS, probably
from the 60s, but the CD is not where I am.

Koji doesn't like expressive pianists. If I remember right, he did
mention once his idols were Lipatti, Gilels, Kapell and Bolet. I
suppose someone who can project as much emotion into the music as
does Sofronitsky must sound rather unsettling to him.
He will probably mellow with age...

The strange thing is, I love the B-minor Scherzo and the Schubert
Impromptu, along with all the Scriabin I've heard of his. Just brilliant
playing. The Op. 11 Sonata was just a huge disappointment for me. You
correctly identified my four idols and as for the mellowing, well, I'm
only 24....anything can happen.

Besides Sofronitsky, I would also mention Dino Ciani on Dynamic -
for completely different approach, of course.
I came to regard Gilels' and Pollini's renditions as a
little bit boring. There are warm, beautiful sound, smooth and/or
powerful legato, but there is not much beyond that. Just my
opinion, of course.
The same Dynamic CD has Chasse Neige which makes many others sound either
as mindless and soulless virtuosi or as boring executioners.

What else have you heard? How about the Schubert D960, D784, Moments
Musicaux, lieder transcriptions? The Prokofiev 7th? The Chopin Mazurkas
and the Barcarolle or the Polonaise in A-flat? The Schumann Carnaval?

In what way? Many r.m.c.r readers think the recording of op. 11
alone justified buying the Russian Piano School set.

Also worth listening from Ciani is the complete Novelletten on a
Stradivarius CD that includes Mozart (Fantasia K 475) and Dallapiccola
(Quaderno Musicale di Annalibera). The Dallapiccola and the Schumann are
really high quality.
For the Gesang der Fruhe, there's a "pirate" Pollini CD (don't remember
the label) that is certainly the best recording of the set available.

Not bad role models. Especially considering that any one of
them is 100 times as expressive as Michelangeli.
