About This Item
This recording's title, Freedom, reflects the disc's exploration of what composers produced when they did not start with a codified musical form but rather with a poetic idea. In this thought-provoking program, both Schubert and Schumann's cycles show powers of evocation and characterization at their height, while in Schoenberg's music, pared back beyond it's essentials, we catch a glimpse into the elements of a psychological crisis. Fiammetta Tarli's playing reveals details of the music unheard before, and in such central repertoire that's quite an achievement; especially impressive is the sense of buoyant fun that she found in Schoenberg's short piano pieces, fun being seldom associated to Schoenberg's music. Album Tracks 1. Schubert Moments Musicaux D. 780, Op. 94 2. Schumann Phantasiestücke, Op. 12 3. Schoenberg Sechs Kleine Klavierstücke, Op. 19
