CD Reviews

Extraordinary debut cd

Stephen D. Haufe | Clinton, Iowa | 10/28/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is one of the great piano cd's I've heard . Schuch's

skill, maturity,

would be the envy of any pianist; at age 25 when recorded, simply jaw-dropping.

My reference Kreisleriana is Horowitz. Schuch offers a more

colorful,expansive,improvisatory reading that made me really like this work for

the first

time.

His Miroirs can look my reference Casadesus and Richter recordings in the eye;

and they

would blink. A "Barque" that inhabits not only the surface, but takes us into

the water's

depths, a sea of Winslow Homer, not just La Mer. His "Valles de cloches" is an

elegant,grand unfolding that makes it a fitting conclusion, not just an after-

thought to

the "Alborado." This is not Ravel for the faint of hand.

Absolutely remarkable,richly detailed playing. Let us hope

he

continues to grow the enormous talent this well-chosen debut cd evidences.Puts

to shame

most recent competition "winners" I've heard recently."
