After recording all 32 Beethoven piano sonatas to celebrate the composer's 250th birthday, celebrated Italian pianist Riccardo Schwartz decided to record solo piano works by Robert Schumann. Carnaval, Op. 9 is written in 1834-1835 and consists of 21 short pieces representing masked revelers at Carnival, a festival before Lent. Schumann gives musical expression to himself, his friends and colleagues, and characters from improvised Italian comedy (commedia dell'arte). Riccardo Schwartz (1986) has had the privilege of performing as a soloist with many world-renowned conductors, among them Gustav Kuhn and Yuri Temirkanov. His acclaimed performances include recitals and concertos for piano and orchestra in many prestigious concert halls.
