RECORDING INFORMATION

If you haven't yet appreciated the genius of Nelson Freire then just listen to this new recording which will find its place among the truly great recordings of this central piano repertoire.

Legendary Brazilian pianist Nelson Freire’s first album on Decca, a Chopin recital released in 2002, was bombarded with critical praise and won several major prizes including theDiapason d’Or and a "Choc" award from La Monde de la Musique in France.

Freire follows this hugely successful Decca debut with this programme of four of Schumann’s most popular and descriptive works.
