Angela Hewitt has earned a richly deserved reputation for her\ninterpretations of Bach and the Baroque, and something of that\ncharacteristic clarity illuminates her Schumann performances. Her\nfirst disc of this repertoire was praised for its ‘seemingly\neffortless but always adventurous interpretations … her poise and\namplitude lending it an unearthly beauty’ and this second volume,\ncontaining some of the composer’s most bewitchingly beautiful\nmusic, should be no less lauded.

Review

Angela Hewitt has made a name for herself primarily as one of the world’s leading exponents of Bach for piano. This, Hewitt’s second Schumann disc for Hyperion, proves once more that her exceptional talents are by no means limited to the baroque. Hewitt’s first Schumann disc was widely lauded – her effortless and joyous playing allowing her room to adventurously unearth an exciting array of nuanced emotions. Featuring Schumann’s muchloved Kinderszenen (‘Scenes from Childhood’), this beautiful disc is sure to be just as well received.
