Schumann: Fantasie, Op. 17; Kreisleriana, Op. 16; Kinderszenen, Op. 15
Marc Ponthus, piano
BRIDGE 9514

Pianist Marc Ponthus's new recording for Bridge Records consists of three of Robert Schumann's key masterpieces: Kinderszenen, op. 15, Kreisleriana, op. 16, and Fantasie in C, op. 17. Ponthus's last recording for Bridge was the “Complete Music for Piano” (BRIDGE 9456A/B) of the late Pierre Boulez. Ponthus's Boulez recording received glowing reviews, and was Gramophone magazine's “Editor's Choice”.

Reviews:

"This disc of three contemporaneous Schumann works played by Marc Ponthus is revelatory. Ponthus here offers technical brilliance with exquisite control of dynamics, voicing and pedalling.” - theWholeNote

“French pianist Marc Ponthus is very much a thinking man’s pianist with a feeling man’s taste. Even the almost overly-familiar Träumerei, which is often played out of context as one of the favorite encore-pieces on the planet, finds its own proper place and perspective in Ponthus’ sensitive interpretation.” - Atlanta Audio Club
