There isn't a daring new approach to Schumann proposed by this set of familiar works, but that may be the appeal that put the album on classical best-seller charts in early 2023. The Fantasie in C major, Op. 17, was worked by Schumann as it developed into a tribute to Beethoven, and the references to Beethoven's late style, which Schumann, among just a few others, understood at the time, are multiple. However, it was also a chronicle of the composer's at-the-time forbidden love affair with his girlfriend, Clara Wieck, itself illustrated with a little quote from Beethoven's song cycle An die ferne Geliebte, Op. 98. Schumann marked the first movement "durchaus fantastisch und leidenschaftlich vorzutragen" ("to be played fantastically and passionately throughout"), but it is also a densely polyphonic and intricately structured work, of which Liszt said, "I mean... to work at it and penetrate it through and through." Pianist Fabrizio Chiovetta, without obvious effort, holds these elements in balance. He is equally effective in the more Olympian Arabeske, Op. 18, and in the Kinderszenen, Op. 15, where each little scene of childhood is beautifully realized without extreme tempo variations that distort the nature of the work. The program, as a whole, places the listener amidst the ferment of Schumann's creativity in the mid-1830s, and Aparte's sound from the Salle Gustav Mahler in Dobbiaco, Italy, is another strong draw. A fine outing from Chiovetta.
