Schumann: Fantasiestucke, Op.88; Trio no.3 in G minor, Op.110
Swiss Piano Trio
Audite 92549 (hybrid SACD)
A generous, warmly recorded programme that helpfully pairs Robert Schumann's less well-known trios with Clara's sole contribution to the genre. Still a rarity in concert, it is a much finer piece than her own evaluation ("womanish and sentimental") and here enjoys playing of finesse and sensitivity. If her husband is marginally less well-served by these artists, this is because the competition is considerably stronger; but anyone wanting these three pieces will not be disappointed.
