There comes times where you're moved to a state where you don't know if you're dreaming and so you pinch yourself to see if you're actually awake. Let's just say, it hurt a lot and I'm 2 hours into this and it felt like 20 minutes and I'm never gonna stop listening.
I knew one of her pupils, the Australian Dorothy Roberts, who was encouraged to take up the piano by Ignaz Friedman! She had also studied briefly with Adela Verne, also a Clara Schumann pupil.
The Pearl collection, "Pupils of Clara Schumann", also has Kinderszenen olayed by Fannie Davies, who was De Lara's teacher before Clara Schumann. Their performances should resolve tempo debates, especially of Traumerei, which they take much slower that the metronome indications of Clara and Robert Schumann. Perhaps the Schumanns needed a new metronome or there was a mistake somewhere along the line.
She doesn't play them as arpeggios. Try her Novellette in D. It is far better than Sviatoslav Richter's, which is far too fast. (Richter is normally brilliant, but this is just 'Passagen') She opens the whole piece up to the left hand, where you hear the Bach-like counterpoint. She also allows enough rubato to the quick right-hand figures to enable one to hear the left hand. I must see if I can find her playing the Concerto.
Say that to Adelina's teacher, Robert Schumann's wife: Clara Schumann. They are the only ones, and Clara's other students and children, who would know how it's supposed to sound. It's lively. Not a sad romance.

Absolutely delightful. So refreshing from these ling langs or whatever.
It is absolutely amazing! The freedom of all voices and naturalness of timings impressed me very much.
The soul of Schumann is with her...marvellous❤
What a fascinating historical recording! Thanks for uploading!

Fascinating playing, thanks for sharing it!

A special recording. Imagine that she took lessons with the composer's wife. Played with sincerity.
In fact she did.

... così come le aveva insegnato Clara Wieck Schumann!
@gullivior ... every pianist born before 1880 did!
she looks like mother zenaida de lara
for you.... maybe not for Schumann....
The lady has some technical difficulties. I imagine she was horribly nerveous about recording, which of course is very understandable.
I disagree. If there were any technical difficulties, they didn't spoil her performances.
Maybe interesting for history, but is too fast.
I totally disagree- do you mean this on the first becuse it is below Schumann tempo.
i know this comment is 7 years old but jesus how idiotic could you sound. her teacher was clara schumann.
