Three masterpieces by Robert Schumann are presented in authoritative performances by Earl Wild. Works of sweeping and magnificent intensity, they represent
the pinnacle of 19th century virtuosity. This live performance of the Toccata is a brilliant and superbly pianistic tour de force, while the Études Symphoniques are
truly orchestral-sounding piano studies. Schumann’s Fantasie presents Earl Wild at his most romantic, most lyrical and most profound. Released for the first
time, these ardent interpretations by the Romantic Master himself, are heard in state-of-the-art HDCD sound.
