Pentatone releases Diaries: Schumann, together with Tiffany Poon, in February 2024.
An Existential Quest Through Schumann’s Music
Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Tiffany Poon, “classical pianist of the new generation”, who makes her Pentatone debut with her album Diaries: Schumann. Through her vivid interpretation of Robert Schumann’s masterpieces, Tiffany invites us on a journey through her musical diary. With a selection ranging from the introspective Kinderszenen to the passionate Davidsbündlertänze, she creates a tapestry that reflects the different aspects of her life and her personal growth.
With this album Tiffany aims to invite the listeners to connect with the different aspects of ourselves, be vulnerable and imaginative like Schumann’s Eusebius and Florestan. This album encourages daydreaming in open spaces, “feeling all the feels”, without any judgement. Experience the brilliance of this rising star as she shares her innermost thoughts and musical prowess through the captivating melodies of Schumann.
“Who are we?
What do we stand for?
Who do we want to become?Maybe you’ve asked yourself one of these questions before.
Maybe you’ve asked yourself all of them…and maybe even more existential questions.Who do we want to become?
Asking ourselves these questions can be eye-opening,
especially when we are in a constant go-go-go mode, going from one place to the next,
staying on schedule, moving forward, ticking things off our checklists,
sleep, eat, work, play, repeat.But asking these questions can also be scary.
They put us in a vulnerable state, where suddenly every thought, every action, demands a question.
Why are we doing this?
Why is the world like this?
Why am I like this?At some point in our lives, we’ve all been misunderstood, whether big or small.
If you had the chance to do something about it, to show the real you, to tell the truth,
wouldn’t you?… It was sometime in early November 2020. Sitting at home, confined by the pandemic, looking
out at my windows, questioning everything, that I wasn’t expecting to last for the next 3 years.Don’t worry, there’s a happy ending to this.
It’s you, right now, reading this, about to listen to my Schumann album.“
