"VARIATIONS"
ANREAS BOYDE (piano)

Boyde reaches to the heart of the Germanic compositional tradition with these sets of variations by Schumann and Brahms. The Schubert variations were never completed by Schumann, despite several attempts, and the piece has been reconstructed from the manuscripts and completed by Andreas Boyde; this is its first ever recording.
