"...en magisk musikupplevelse..."
(Svenska Dagbladet)

For Schumann, Bach was the supreme benchmark. He saw in his great predecessor not merely a genius of the past, but a vital source for his art, and sought both inspiration and psychological stability in Bach's music. Schumann paid tribute to his mentor in many different ways: writing chorales and fugues like Bach, borrowing his themes, or playing on the four notes which form his name, B-A-C-H. This programme, recorded on an Érard piano with an ideal timbre, is played by a passionate admirer of these two masters of the keyboard.
