"You haven't looked deeply enough into the Davidsbündlertänze. I think they are completely different from Carnaval. They are like faces to the masks."

These are the words that Robert Schumann wrote to Clara Wieck in 1838, regarding the two collective works offered on this CD. The choice to present Carnaval and Davidsbündlertänze together is all the more fitting and stimulating because it offers us the chance to explore the complex world of Schumann by observing it from two different and complementary points of view. The two works, in fact, offer each other mutual sustenance and can be considered to represent a clear manifesto of Schumann’s art.

Don’t miss this wonderful recording with the excellent pianist Alessandra Ammara. She has already drawn the attention of the musical world and had already two publications presented by ARTS. We are glad to introduce you this distinguished creation with 24bit/96kHz multichannel sound on a Hybrid SACD
