It's true,i am pretty sure nobody spoke about Schumann played by Kempff.
That's the problem with so many modern famous names,sometimes people forget
GREAT names.  In my personal point of view,the principal caracteristic of
Kempff,were the Beethoven Sonatas,which for me are among the best versions
of it,or even the best (speking in general terms).  He recorded not to much
Schumann but the few he recorded is wonderful.The Fantasy Op.17 in C major
played by him,is a pleasure to listen it.  Cordially:
