Marco Mantovani
album release : On the Shoulders of Giants (2024, Etcetera)
Promising pianist Marco Mantovani demonstrates a profound musical affinity with Robert Schumann in his third album On the Shoulders of Giants (2024, Etcetera). In this concert, Mantovani plays Beethoven's expressive Piano Sonata No. 17 and Schumann's Fantasy in C major in which Beethoven's influence is clearly discernable. Schumann reworked the traditional sonata form – brought by Beethoven to its highest peaks – by turning the typical dramaturgy (fast, slow, fast) upside down and adding his own colours.
