Fine Performances Of These Schumann Pieces For Piano And Orchestra From Zacharias and His Chamber Orchestra.......2007-05-26

Classical music fans who are also serious audiophiles should rush to buy this fine recording of the Schumann Piano Concerto. Although it is not my primary recommendation, it is noteworthy for several reasons, among which is the insightful, dramatic playing by soloist and conductor Christian Zacharias. Often overlooked by classical music fans in North America, Zacharias has received ample praise for his profound, dramatic interpretations of Classical and Romantic piano music, of which his most noteworthy performances may be those performing works composed by Beethoven, Schubert and Schumann. In Europe, he's also become well known as a conductor, and has led this small Swiss chamber orchestra comprised of exceptional musicians; an orchestral force that is noticeably smaller than comparable ensembles like the Chamber Orchestra of Europe and the Academy of Saint Martin in the Fields. Zacharias' noteworthy interpretation of the venerable Schumann Piano Concerto includes adherence to brisk tempi (especially the first and second movements) and using smaller orchestral forces. However, Zacharias's fine interpretation with a smaller orchestra may not appeal to those seeking more traditional accounts with much larger orchestras, of which those from the likes of Argerich, Grimaud and Perahia as soloists may be more appealing.

One of the most unusual aspects of this recording is its almost unique coupling with two rarely performed Schumann concertinos for piano and orchestra (The only other instance I'm aware of where all three works appear on the same recording is a 1990s recording with Murray Perahia as soloist accompanied by Claudio Abbado conducting the Berliner Philharmoniker.). Both pieces are performed admirably by Zacharias and his Lausanne chamber orchestra. Indeed these fine performances may be more important reasons of themselves in acquiring this recording than yet another fine performance of the Schumann piano concerto. Without question this is definitely a Schumann recording of works for piano and orchestra which I can recommend highly.
