Benno Moiseiwitsch plays Schumann Romance in F sharp Op. 28 No. 2

[@tiggywinkle20]

This is the best recording I have heard. Beautiful and tender. Just right.🇬🇧

[@ernestoreynoso8951]

An absolutely beautiful interpretation, its sound is a caress, without any trace of violence. Poetry of love without words.

James, Moiseiwitsch more than once said Schumann was his favourite composer. :)

What an artist - what a music!

Thank you for posting this jewel!

Absolutely fabulous. I'd never really thought of Moiseiwitsch as a Schumann-ian before, but this is right up there.

[@jeremyd1021]

I think probably because Moiseiwitsch lived in the era of the dreaded "all Chopin" recital.

this is a good tempo

[@JohnPeacepianist]

Exquisite - "parlando" playing of the highest order in a piece of music which can easily sound almost banal under the hands of lesser pianists.

As originally issued on 78s, this made up the fourth side of the Moonlight sonata.

[@BugsySiegel2011]

beautiful

[@saltburner2]

Far better than Gilels, who is much too slow. This really flows, and is full of pathos.
