Schumman: Kinderszenen, Waldszenen, Papillons, Three Romances
Delightful. Like Mahler's on which I have just commented, this is subtle and straightforward. Wilhelm Kempff shows his lyricism with such expressive modulation.
Each piece is more beautiful than the other, in the Deutsche Grammophone CD with recordings from 1967, 1973 and 1974.
Although Three Romances (op.28) clearly contrasts with the other more situational works: Kinderszenen op.15, Waldszenen op.82, Papillons op.2. This one, I believe, does not necessarily try to evoke any particular sensations, but is, excuse my analogy, more discursive in nature, and not so descriptive.
