Florian Krumpock – Between Eusebius And Florestan [CD]

Description

Internationally celebrated as both a soloist and conductor, Florian Krumpock has more than proven his outstanding capability in the international concert scene. “Forget Lang Lang and Arcadi Volodos. There are highly virtuoso keyboard tigers in Austria too”, was the verdict of the daily newspaper “Die Presse” on the pianist’s solo debut at the Vienna Konzerthaus. On this album, Florian Krumpock presents two of Robert Schumann’s seminal works Fantasiestucke, Op. 12 and Symphonic etudes, Op. 13 both deeply intertwined with his great love and future wife, Clara Wieck. The album’s title, “Between Eusebius and Florestan”, alludes to the alter egos Schumann frequently invoked during this period: opposing personas that profoundly influenced his work as both a music critic and a composer. This recording of the Symphonic etudes includes five posthumously published variations, with the finale drawn from Schumann’s 1852 revised version.
