REWIND
MY FINEST MOMENT
R Schumann Fantasie, Op. 17 Paul Lewis (piano) Harmonia Mundi HMC902096 (2015)
The Schumann Fantasie is a horribly elusive piece and is fairly typical of him. It’s impulsive; you flit from one character to another and each one has to be so vivid. You have to find a thread as well – something that glues it all together – otherwise it’s just a series of unconnected scenes.
