5.0 out of 5 stars Lazaridis and Schumann - the perfect combination, 26 April 2002
By A Customer
George-Emmanuel Lazaridis reminds me of his compatriot , the glorious Maria Callas. His richly expressive performances on this new disc sing with a unique pianistic voice giving myriad subtle colours , shapes and an effortless joie de vivre to these well-known Schumann works. He plays with similar artistry and authoritative insight to the finest musicians like Lipatti and Alfred Cortot , sharing their wonderful rhythmic control and yet their freedom and originality of interpretation. Here every note in invested with persuasive character, a magnificent palette of kaleidoscopic colours and nuances, and a poetic almost visionary insight into Schumann's soul within the music. Lazaridis manages to make these three famous cycles sound as though you are listening to them for the first time and discovering so much richness and intense beauty in this fabulous music. The piano sounds like a full orchestra at times but also there are moments of calm, delicacy and stillness which I found quite hypnotic. I hope George-Emmanuel Lazaridis will record many more Schumann works. They suit him so brilliantly and it is a joy to have these verveful and irresistible masterly performances on CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent performance from Lazaridis, 24 Jul 2006

George-Emmanuel Lazaridis bring excitment to the performance of Schumann. Having heard him live at Tullynally Castle, I await eagerly the further recordings of this young Greek virtuoso.

5.0 out of 5 stars pianism of creative genius, 21 April 2002
This Schumann disc is a miracle of poetry, superb artistry and pianism of the highest order. Ever note that George-Emmanuel Lazaridis plays lives and breathes with kaleidoscopic colour , magical interpretation and an architectural sense of the composition as an entity which we associate with the greats such as Furtwangler, Cortot , Michelangeli and Artur Rubinstein. Lazaridis brings to the music youthful esprit, immaculate technical command and in all three great Schumann works , a remarkable authority and freshness of insight. For me his Papillons Opus 2 is definitely the best I have ever heard ! The wit ,the zest and irresistible dancing quality is exactly what Schumann must have had in mind when he composed these gorgeous pieces. Fantasiestucke Opus 12 is also memorable for the immediacy and spontaneity with which Lazaridis shapes the gorgeous music giving each cameo as it were an inevitable perfection of detail and captivating charm. Carnaval Opus 9 in my opinion belongs with the monumental recordings by Rachmaninov, Myra Hess and Michelangeli . It is delightful and mesmeric in every way. I have listened several times to these performances by Lazaridis and marvel at the sterling qualities of his breath-taking pianistic command and his sheer love of life and music which invests each of these interpretations. This for me is playing that has total integrity, exquisite sensitivity and a perfect identification with the very essence of Schumann. A wonderful disc in every aspect.
