Warner Classics 5054197032578 Release date 23 November 2018

ldquoThis album tells in a way a story of my life my dreams my childhood

scenes set in the place where I was born and where I grew uprdquo For

Venetian pianist Gloria Campaner Schumann has been a lifelong

passion Kinderszenen was the first piano cycle she learned as a child

and the Piano Concerto was a performance she heard many times at La

Fenice with her parents This recording of her beloved Schumann

masterpieces at the Gran Teatro La Fenice with the Filarmonica della

Fenice Venezia conducted by her friend John Axelrod is not only a

poignant rediscovery of childhood but also an evocation of all that is

home for her With this CD Gloria will also be raising funds for a

childrenrsquos charity in Italy (one of the many she actively supports)
