How I listen to music: Ep.1 Fanny Davies, Tempo Rubato & Chord Spreads
I have recently come across this beautiful recording and wanted to share my thoughts about it.
Fanny Davies recorded Robert Schumann‘s Davidsbündler dances Op.6 in 1930, when she was in her late 60s. She was a student of Clara Schumann‘s. Her playing in my mind is of the utmost in refinement, sentiment and musicianship. I have no doubt that her interpretation is perhaps the closest we will ever get to hearing Clara Schumann’s own playing.
