Abstract

The article reviews the album "A Child's Dream," featuring pianist Alexandra Dariescu, violinist Tomo Keller, cellist Richard Harwood, and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields. The album comprises 19 tracks of mostly piano solo miniatures spanning a wide range of styles and moods, including works by Mozart, Clara Schumann, Nadia Boulanger, and lesser-known composers such as Emmy Schäfer Klein and Leokadiya Kashperova, some of which are world premiere recordings. Highlights include Clara Schumann’s three Romances, praised for their lush romanticism and expressive performance, while some pieces like Mozart’s Rondo and Bach’s Prelude receive more mixed assessments. The recording is noted for its warm, balanced sound and diverse programming, offering a varied listening experience akin to sampling a banquet of musical appetizers. [Extracted from the article]
