About this product

This is a new recording featuring the brilliant interpretation of Robert Schuman, the main voice of Romanticism, by the pianist Takahiro Yoshikawa. Yoshikawa has already released two albums on the Ypsilon tag dedicated to Beethoven and Debussy, both of which received widespread acclaim. The present album scales three peaks of Schuman's piano literature. Fantasiestücke Op. 12 (Fantasy Pieces), is a set of eight pieces for piano written in 1837 and presented by some critics as InchTales of The NightInch. They describe, indeed, intimate and disturbing scenes of nightlife where the moonbeams dimmed by the clouds create dreams and nightmares. Kinderszenen Op. 15 (Scenes from Childohood) is a set of thirteen quiet short pieces written in 1838. Waldszene Op. 82 (Forest Scenes) is nine pieces written between 1848 and 1849 characterized by a more profound introspection. With his particular lyricism, Takahiro Yosikawa conjures here an entirely different sound-world moving between a sharp sense of period style and an extraordinary technique giving all the charm and poetry the German composer intended. In all, this album is a tremendous achievement, and is highly enjoyable and desirable.

U2 - Songs Of Experience   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
4.5(2)

Boxed set containing deluxe CD and double colored vinyl LP pressing. 2017 , the 14th studio album from the Irish quartet. Songs of Experience was produced by Jacknife Lee and Ryan Tedder with Steve Lillywhite, Andy Barlow, and Jolyon Thomas. The album is intended to be a companion piece to U2's previous record, Songs of Innocence (2014). Whereas it's predecessor explored the group members' adolescence in Ireland in the 1970s, Songs of Experience thematically is a collection of letters written by lead vocalist Bono to people and places closest to his heart. The personal nature of the lyrics reflects a brush with mortality that he had during the album's recording. Includes the single You're the Best Thing About Me.
