Kevin Kanisius Suherman plays Schimmel Konzert 280

Young pianist Kevin Kanisius Suherman presents a full recital of Schumann’s Carnaval, Liszt, Chopin and Beethoven, recorded on the new Schimmel Konzert 280 concert grand.

The programme centres on Robert Schumann’s Carnaval, Op. 9, with its carnival characters, ciphered love-notes and closing Davidsbündler march. Beside it stand Liszt’s Liebestraum No. 3 and the concert study Gnomenreigen, Chopin’s Andante spianato and Grande polonaise brillante, Op. 22, and Beethoven’s gentle Piano Sonata in E-flat major, Op. 27 No. 1.

The sessions were made in September 2011 at Genazzano Girls School in Kew, Melbourne, on a Schimmel Concert Grand K 280.
