Katchens characteristic vitality, as well as his imagination, shines in
Schumanns Carnaval, where the contrast of each number is sharply brought
out...Katchens spontaneous passion makes both the Schumann and Chopin items
sound newly minted...one cant accuse Decca of lacking imagination in their
choice of repertoire.
