This piano recital is focused on Schumann`s genius and multifaceted personality as a composer.  He is zooming-in into a child`s emotional world, to then drive the listener straight into the contrast and creative dialog between the Apollonian and the Dionysian nature of the human being, supported by the picturesque musical characters of Eusebious (the mild), and Florestan (the wild). Not seldomly, those contrasting personas exist (up to some degree) as a conflict or a union in everyone of us. Hearing and feeling them in such a depth allows us to go on a creative journey of discovery and reconciliation.
