Schumann (1810-1856), one of the most sensitive geniuses of
early romanticism, was inspired by a profoundly literary imagination. He
excelled at compositions for an intimate medium, above all chamber music,
lieder, and a wealth of richly poetic works for solo piano. Though his life
was tragically cut short by mental illness, Schumann's legacy is both extensive
and highly varied. Here
are his essential recordings.
