Rezension über die Doppel-SACD „The Circle of Robert Schumann“ Vol. 1

“The Bargiel sonata . . . is a terrific piece that cries out for inclusion in the standard repertoire . . . this set is worth acquiring for the Bargiel alone.”
“. . . the three Schumann violin sonatas (are) played with an extraordinary amount of power and passion . . . period fanciers will no doubt delight in this release.”
“I find these performances satisfying and attractive . . . the interpretations by Schaumann and Hammer, which are at once both energetic and lyrical.”

The Daily Telegraph, London
Wigmore Hall London

“It is rare to find an . . . artist who consistently aims at producing beauty of tone rather than striking effects . . . Gudrun Schaumann . . . has an assured technique and a fine judgment of balanced dynamics . . . In the Beethoven there were moments of the highest art . . .”

The New York Times
Lincoln Center, New York

“. . . played with rhythmic elan and appealing lyricism . . .”
“. . . Debussy’s quicksilver wit and Schumann’s romantic mystery registered effectively in Miss Schaumann’s . . . tastefully conceived performances.”

Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger

„. . . In Bach´s Solosonate C-Dur paarten sich geistige Klarheit und Sicherheit der Technik mit Empfindungstiefe und Disziplin. Der voll ausschwingende Ton fügte sich mühelos jeder Willensregung dieser energiegeladenen Geigerin.“
