In 1985, Stanislav Bunin, like Krystian Zimerman ten years earlier, won the International Chopin Competition in Warsaw at the age of 19. The competition was covered in a documentary that was widely broadcast in Japan, and it goes without saying that the winner created a craze in Japan. Bunin has chosen to remain out of the spotlight as an active concert pianist since the 90s, devoting the majority of his time and energy to teaching and passing on his techniques to future generations. Nonetheless, he has made a number of recordings for Deutsche Grammophon, including this one here with works by Robert Schumann, recorded in 1988 and now available for the first time in the digital supply chain.

Works include Schumann’s highly acclaimed Kinderszenen (Scenes from Childhood), Op. 15, Arabeske in C major, Op. 18 and his piano cycle Faschingsschwank aus Wien (Carnival Scenes from Vienna), Op. 26.
