This recording is Imogen Coopers third Chandos release, following earlier discs of works by Brahms and Robert and Clara Schumann. Ms. Cooper describes Schumanns Davidsbundlertänze, op. 6 as a work of stirring beauty and humor that make it one of the great romantic masterpieces for the piano. The Abegg Variations, op. 1 is virtuosic, extroverted and charming; the Geistervariationen, his last composed piano pieces, introverted and sparse. Finally, in the two Novelletten, Imogen Cooper desires to reveal what she calls the hidden narrative filaments to be discovered.
