A beautiful recording of Clara Schumann’s piano works by the world-renowned pianist Daniel Levy, with some ‘lieder’ by the critically acclaimed soprano Cristina Mantese.

“In the Piéces Fugitives Levy’s gentle poetry pays off in perhaps the finest recorded version”.
Fanfare, USA


“As if to give a full balance to his Schumann interests, Edelweiss Emission also issued an outstanding collection of Levy playing piano works of Clara (Wieck) Schumann. It contains Clara’s Variations on a theme by RS Op.20, Sonata in G minor, 3 Romances Op. 11 and the utterly wonderful Pieces Fugitives Op.15. Clara was not only one of the greatest pianists of her time, but easily the finest female composer of the XIX century. If you don’t know her music, you’re in for a handsome surprise.”
