This new audite release marks the beginning of a planned three- disc series with Jimin Oh-Havenith. Here, the pianist will present her personal perspective on Robert Schumann, whose contribu- tion to romantic piano music is unparalleled, particularly so his series of masterpieces composed between 1830 and 1839. The first Sonata in F sharp minor, Op. 11, and the Fantasie Op. 17 form part of Schumann’s exploration of the classical sonata form, es- pecially that of Beethoven and Schubert. Due to their poetic and autobiographical-programmatic charge in combination with a novel, decidedly contrapuntal pianistic virtuosity, they remain among the most demanding piano works of the romantic period, and are also unreservedly loved by performers and listeners. Jimin Oh-Have- nith’s playing, both powerful and nuanced, beautifully realises the unique richness of this music.
