![Charles Owen - The Young Schumann [CD]](http://chalkys.com/cdn/shop/files/0822252264722.jpg?v=1750562140&width=1445)
Description
'Overall, this playing is meticulous, clean and restrained, a saner rendition of Robert Schumann's own mercurial, alternatingly introspective and exuberant character. But even if Owen's Schumann is better-behaved than we expect, the beautifully judged voicing and colours are a delight.' x96 BBC Music Magazine (3 stars)
rr'Owen's account is competitive and characterful, with good contrasts throughout. Highlights are the playful 'Coquette' and 'Papillons', the warm lyricism of 'Eusebius' and 'Valse noble'. the especially lovely 'Promenade' and the fast and super-light 'Reconnaissance'.' x96 International Piano
rrFeatured on BBC Radio 3's Record Review on 16th November: 'It feels like quite a grown-up interpretation, there is quite an adult approach to this repertoire and its beautifully executed. The disc as a whole is really beautifully put together.'
rr'The two suites, Papillons and Carnaval, are, of course, Schumann's most beloved piano works , and Owen treats them as old friends. In both, an infinitely calibrated dynamic at the quiet end of the spectrum is on full display.' x96 Gramophone
rrCharles Owen graces the cover of Pianist magazine this month, discussing his approach to the early works of Robert Schumann (AV2647) and offering advice to aspiring pianists.
