"This is one of
the most ingratiating, thoughtful, and lyrical
performances of the Schumann Piano Concerto that I
have ever heard... Levy and his partner, legendary
singer turned conductor Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau,
find a quality of dramatic interplay that is quite
magical. The Konzertstück, with its
characteristically Schumannesque horn textures, is
also delivered with a deeply satisfying sense of
flesh and blood. The obscure Schön Hedwig and Zwei
Balladen, written for solo piano and speaker, may
not engender repeated hearings except for
specialized tastes, but are rendered with a magnetic
theatricality by Fischer-Dieskau.”

"Daniel Levy
recorded these unique pieces with none other than
Fischer-Dieskau as his partner! The celebrated
baritone also directs the orchestra, and the
pianist, in highly distinguished performances of the
Concerto in A Minor and the beautiful, but less
familiar, Konzertstück op. 92."
