Synopsis

Amazon.com

This was one of the first Naxos releases, originally issued when the label was called Enigma Classics Naxos. Jenö Jandó was running through an awful lot of piano music in those days, and in this case "running through" is the correct description. Schumann's extravagant music requires a wide range of expression, something you will not hear in these performances. They sound like good second-rate student playing, without the passion it takes to make Schumann come alive. The price may be very low, but your time is worth something too. Jandó plays other music, like Haydn, much better than this. --Leslie Gerber

CD Reviews

Brilliant sensitivity, articulation, dynamics, and technique

Rick | California | 01/30/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Naxos is to be congratulated on this excellent disc featuring the superb pianist, Jeno Jando. The programming is excellent, clearly demonstrating, in Op. 15, the underlying areas of expertise, musical sensitivity and understanding that we hear later in the larger works, Op. 2 and Op. 9. Jando's beautiful phrasing, lovely voicing, elastic pulse and fine "feeling for the whole" are presented immediately in No. 1 (later in Nos. 2,4,7,10,12,13 especially). The phenomenal technique that allows this artist to do whatever he wants, is clearly demonstrated in 9,11 and others. The brilliant articulation and superb use of dynamic contrast in "Frightening" help tell us the story as Schumann must have wished. With the conclusion of "The Poet Speaks", all of Op. 15 is joined in a satisfying architectural whole. -- Later, in Papillons, where we can see, feel and hear the dance, then the bell tolling midnight in conclusion -- and in the large work, Carnival, we continue to enjoy the same beauty and excitement this artist creates. I enjoyed it!"
