About This Item
With this recording the Abeggs have completed their collection of Schumann trios, and simply everything about this product is right On the cover, instead of the usual somewhat stilted photos of the artists, we see a lovely sketch of Schumann by Horst Janssen. And instead of vague, flowery music stories, the booklet provides an involved and analytically precise essay, in which Jan Reichow successfully paints a new picture of Schumann. The recording technology of this CD provides a relaxed, natural sound. None of this would count for much, were it not for the Abeggs themselves, who make excellent music. That is how chamber music can sound when musicians think together. (NDR)
