Thanks for sharing!   A lovely piece by Schumann.  Never heard E. Naoumoff play before; he plays very well, too.   

best wishes,

There is an uncanny reminiscence of Michelangeli in this performance of the same finale by Pletnev, in terms of eccentricity, nuanced sound effects, -- and facial expression (minutes 3-4).

The facial expressions on Emile Naoumoff is interesting.....I was wondering on a particular part he was going to sing outloud.  And the vid of Michelangeli , yes, does have that resemblance of facial expressions, well, his was with the eyebrows and forehead.  Yet, his technique is wonderful with such fine tone. 

best wishes,
