I really like this - one good thing in addition to the fine soloist is Thielemann's handling of the accompaniment, with a quick opening ritornello, so the first movement comes in at 21mins compared to the 24 it normally seems to nowadays. Total time 38mins. A crisp but poetic interpretation, her tone is sweet and intense rather than rich.
The recording is very good, though some might feel that the spacious acoustic (presumably the Lukaskirche) sounds a little empty. Very well focused sound though, with good detail. I haven't listened to the Clara Schumann pieces yet.
