Russian pianist Evgeni Koroliov explores the lyrical and intricate world of Robert Schumann's piano music on this 2006 Tacet release. The program spans Schumann's career: the virtuosic, almost orchestral Kreisleriana; the character pieces of Bunte Blätter; the tender, imaginative Kinderszenen. Schumann's piano writing is among the most poetic in the repertoire—full of hidden voices, sudden emotional shifts, and technical challenges that emerge from the music's expressive logic. Koroliov's playing is thoughtful and technically secure, letting Schumann's compositional genius shine through without over-interpretation or unnecessary affectation.
