Notes & Reviews:

This is Volume 1 in Imogen Cooper's new series on Chandos Records, dedicated to the complete works for piano by Robert Schumann. Recognized worldwide as a pianist of virtuosity and poetic poise, Imogen Cooper has established a reputation as one of the finest interpreters of the classical and romantic repertoire. She has dazzled audiences and orchestras throughout her distinguished career, bringing to the concert platform a unique musical understanding and lyrical quality.

Gramophone Magazine, March 2013
[in Op. 12] she relishes the haunting ebb and flow of 'Des Abends' and finds her way to the very heart of the composer in the delectably pointed romantic polyphony in the central section of 'In der Nacht'...the steadiness provides an always musicianly alternative to speed or hysteria...you remain grateful for the way Cooper tempers Schumann's hallucinatory art with her own more basic and fundamental musicianship.
