To have the Romanian-German pianist Herbert Schuch's complete Oehms discography collected into a single box set provides a valuable overview of this brilliantly talented performer who balances superb technique with the ability to find the essence of the composition. With a primary emphasis on the Romantic era, Schuch never falls into sentimental tropes in his interpretations. As noted in the Frankfurter Allegmeine Zeitung,"The bright young Romanian-German pianist Herbert Schuch is building his career with marvelous consistency. This is demonstrated less by vain, flashy solo appearances than an ever deeper fathoming of individual works."
