The new preferred version by consensus:


I invite others to post their versions

Beautiful! Very dreamlike atmosphere you created.

Hi Noah.. Thank you.. I'm afraid this recording was a joking response to a tempo proclamation  -( in that other thread )- that i found at odds with its title - and my sense of it..
I did try to make it beautiful… (but felt i was pushing it almost to the ridiculous...

[pencilart3]

yeah I know... I was trying to be sarcastic

[themeandvariation]

HAHAHA  you got me.. Good one! 

[ronde_des_sylphes]

A magnificent performance, which captures the full kaleidoscope of Schumann's intentions, revealing hitherto unseen nuances. Fully deserves to become the new benchmark recording!

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. I never thought anyone could bring the indulgent and magnificent splendor of the dreaming mood at the composers original tempo, but you truly have shown us that it can be done.

I highly doubt any other recordings could match the brilliance and sensuousness of this playing.

BRAVO!!!

This is good sense of humour

Thanks PP and Toughbo.
Such support for my perspective brings a tear to my eye.

That's terrific; really funny. Sometimes a recording is worth a thousand words.

And possibly $75.

And possibly $75.    

I'm afraid not...  
because someone who is expected to pay this will mention this recording was played at 101,05 BPM and that is too fast for Schumann original indications according to the Canadian version of book "The-true-art-of-making-books-about-musical-laws-without-speaking about-it-nor-giving-any-information-which-you-missed-in-your-foreign-country-because-there-was-no-russian-school-for-song-writing-symphonies-stolen-by-americans-in-the-golden-ages-where-the-author-claims-to-have-been-the-security-guard-for-several-great-pianists-while-becoming-millionaire-playing-chopin-etudes-as-slow-as-possible-during-13-hous-without-stop-in-a-luxury-hotel" which is 100,000001 the limit.

Anyway, this is what I call a definitive version!

I'm joking of course...
