R. Schumann: Five Pieces in Folk Style Tsuyoshi Tsutsumi (Cello) Yuko Suzaki (Piano) [CD]

From the tender use of sound, the composer's appearance gradually takes shape without error.

The keywords that connect the recorded songs are, for example, folk songs, the atmosphere of the fields, and romanticism accompanied by feelings of longing, respect, and admiration. Such a program concludes with Piazzolla, who elevated tango, a folk dance, to the universal language of the world as a melody of the soul. While truly gazing at the vast world with a strict yet clear perspective, the hand extended to the listener is gentle and full of embracing warmth. (Kazumasa Kowata, from the liner notes)
