Notes
Several attempts have been made over the last sixty years or so to record all Robert Schumann’s works for solo piano, a fascinating cosmos full of variety that ranges from extremely virtuosic pieces for the concert hall to valuable literature for piano tuition. This attractive but difficult quest has unfortunately been marked by a lack of the necessary care, not to mention purely artistic deficiencies, so that none of the releases deserves the name “complete recording”. Since Schumann published several works (Impromptus op. 5, Davidsbündlertänze op. 6, Symphonic Studies op. 13, Concert sans Orchestre or Sonata in F Minor op. 14 and Kreisleriana op. 16) in two more or less different versions, it is not legitimate in a “complete recording” to include only one of the versions, let alone to amalgamate two of them. Moreover, works published at remote places as well as unpublished works and fragments that could easily be completed without too much speculation, have so far been taken into account only in exceptional cases.

“A varied collection of very fine works by Schumann in dedicated performances buttressed by excellent annotation and recording”
David R Dunsmore – MusicWeb-International.com – 16 June 2020
“This release oozes integrity, both in musicological and performance terms. Right from the off, Uhlig offers revelatory Schumann playing… The Fantasiestücke are given all the space they need, a superb performance. But the true joy of this disc is the (pardon the pun) unsung Gesänge der Frühe, one of Schumann’s finest piano works. Uhlig’s performance is the result of deep contemplation. Andsnes has championed this piece previously; Uhlig is just as fine.”
Bryce Morrison - International Piano magazine - March 2020
