Steinway International Piano Series: Elisabeth Brauss
Schumann’s ‘Carnaval’ is one of the landmarks of Romantic music – a riot of fantasy and colour, from a genius who played by no rules but his own. Add the wit of Prokofiev, plus Beethoven at the peak of his youthful powers, and this is a perfect showcase for Elisabeth Brauss: the young German pianist whose “maturity and sophistication” has already brought her Europe-wide acclaim.
