The unpublished EMI live recording, London 1957

Album by Robert Schumann & Fryderyk Chopin & Claude Debussy & Frederic Mompou & Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli

The unpublished live recording London 1957 is a live album of performances of music by Robert Schumann, recorded in London in 1957. The recording presents Romantic-era piano and chamber repertoire characterised by lyrical melodies, rich harmonic language and expressive tempo contrasts, and its mid-20th-century live capture offers insight into period performance practices and interpretative approaches to Schumann's work.
