"Once upon a time ...": this is what sounds from the loudspeakers on the GENUIN debut CD of the Russian-German pianist Anna Scheps. The listener moves his/her armchair closer to the crackling fireplace to glance into the programme. The ingeniously selected romantic character pieces have a magical and dreamlike atmosphere: from Schubert's Gretchen am Spinnrade to de Falla's Fire Dance, from Sergei Rachmaninoff to Nicolai Medtner. Very pianistic, of course, with humour and poetry, filled with a sense of drama and rhythmic drive: an impressive debut. Still more: an upbeat that makes the listener happy!
