Divine Art proudly presents the first vinyl edition of Fantasies, Burkard Schliessmann's wonderful interpretation of the solo piano works of Robert Schumann. Now issued as a triple gold audiophile LP, this deluxe pressing follows the album's acclaimed release on SACD and Dolby Atmos digital, which drew widespread praise for both it's sonic fidelity and interpretative depth.Recorded at Berlin's renowned Teldex Studios with producer Julian Schwenkner and engineer Jupp Wegner, the album uses a 14-microphone setup to capture the full breadth of Schliessmann's artistry - revealing the intricate emotional architecture and expression of Schumann's writing.Schliessmann draws out the music's structural sophistication, making bold connections to Wagner's Tristan, while with spacious, poetic lyricism. The result is a revelatory journey through Schumann's psyche - one that Schumann Journal described as "completely new, surprising and unexpected. a MUST!" (Irmgard Knechtges-Obrecht), while the American Record Guide hailed the album's "perfect" sound as "one of the most beautiful-sounding recordings I've heard recently" (Rob Haskins).Pressed on triple heavyweight gold vinyl, this edition delivers analogue warmth and detail that will reward the most discerning listener. A vital collector's release, Fantasies continues Burkard Schliessmann's legacy of uncompromising interpretations and outstanding recorded sound.
