Record after record, Claire Désert continues her exploration of Schumann's work. Centred on the genre of the variation, this new opus reveals the composer's multiple and elusive moods, like a personal diary. From a tribute to Beethoven to the final variations composed just before he sank into the Rhine, Schumann's piano sings of the whole of Romanticism, its ruptures and its ideals.
