Description:

Centered on Robert Schumanns *Humoresque*, the programwhich continues with *Flower Songs*, Brahmss variations, and works by Clara Schumannis structured to trace the lineage of the spirit that carries on the legacy from within a single composer. Schumanns music is deeply introspective, yet oscillates between delicacy and tension. Maki Ohnoa pianist of unadorned sincerity and boundless purityconfronts the music head-on at its core and, through her thorough refinement of the music, brings forth Schumann in his truest form. (C)RS
