Robert Schumann - Das Piano Projekt

Piano Works Opp. 1-5

Anthony Hewitt, piano

2013. Cat OL201204

Robert Schumann wrote almost exclusively for the piano between 1830 and 1840, and in fact his first twenty three complete and published works are all piano solo compositions. On this disc, Anthony surveys these works in catalogue order, offering fresh insight into the development of his style.

In May 2012, Anthony Hewitt cycled 1200 miles from Land's End to John O'Groats for charity. As if that weren’t enough of an epic challenge in itself, at the end of each gruelling day he gave a piano recital, performing some of the works featured on this CD.
