SCHUMANN ROBERT

ΣΥΜΒΟΥΛΕΣ ΠΡΟΣ ΝΕΟΥΣ ΜΟΥΣΙΚΟΥΣ
«Αν η μουσική σου βγαίνει από την καρδιά και την ψυχή σου, και αν την αισθάνεσαι μέσα σου, θα συγκινήσει και τους άλλους κατά τον ίδιο τρόπο.» Ναι: αν η μουσική βγαίνει από τα βάθη της ψυχής σου, θα αγγίξει βαθιά και τους άλλους. Δεν είναι όμως μόνον η καρδιά και η ψυχή - χρειάζεται να συμμετέχει και το μυαλό, πρέπει να συνεργάζονται και τα τρία (όπως σε μια συναυλία, για παράδειγμα), είτε πρόκειται να συνθέσετε είτε να αναδημιουργήσετε τα έργα που ερμηνεύετε. Δεν υπάρχει καμία αντίφαση μεταξύ σκέψης και συναισθήματος και τα δύο συμβάλλου...

ALBUM FOR THE YOUNG / 43 PIANO PIECES
In 1848, after finishing an album of little piano pieces for his daughter Marie, Schumann devised the plan of compiling a "children's album". Since then the resultant collection of 43 pieces has enjoyed unparalleled success. Schumann's "Album for the Young" is now presented in an Urtext edition which meets the needs of performers. In addition to the famous "Advice to Young Musicians"(in German, English and a French translation by Liszt), other pieces related to this work but left unpublished during Schumann's lifetime can be found in the a...

(CD) ASCHENMUSIK
Heinz Holliger's lifelong fascination with the music of Robert Schumann finds further expression on this newest release: on Aschenmusik, a new interpretation of the Swiss oboist-composer's "Romancendres" is framed by Schumann's own works. "Romancendres" refers to the lost "Cello Romances" which Clara Schumann burned on Brahms's advice, an act of destruction which outraged Holliger and fuelled the composition of this "music from the ashes" in 2003. It's a portrait of Schumann, packed with quotations, projected like a lifetime passing throug...

(CD) PIANO QUARTETS
It was through disobeying his mother's wish for him to study law, and through late?night "read throughs" with his friends of chamber works by Mozart and Beethoven, among others, which led Schumann to begin work on his own Piano Quartet in C minor in 1828. By never attending a single law lecture and spending many hours each day practicing and improvising at the piano, he also made the acquaintance of the eightyear?old Clara Wieck, the daughter of his piano teacher. Already a keyboard prodigy at that young age, it was through playing the sub...

(CD) DICHTERLIEBE op.48
This recording offers two of Schumann's most celebrated song cycles, to poems by Heine and Eichendorff. Digging right down to the poet's unconscious mind, Schumann reveals here an accomplished art of poetic evocation and commentary. A marvellous plunge into the dream-like universe of German Romanticism. This title was released for the first time in 2002....

(CD) STRING QUARTET No.3 - PIANO QUINTET
Although perhaps better known for his Lieder and piano music, both of the works heard on this new recording by the Daniel Quartet are from Robert Schumann's significant oeuvre of chamber music. Remarkably, it was within a single year (1842), at the start of his career, that Schumann wrote his three String Quartets Op.41 and the Piano Quintet Op.44; both are now considered pillars of the chamber music repertoire. Schumann was well acquainted with examples of the genre by Haydn, Mozart and Mendelssohn, and passionate studies of Beethoven's q...

(4CD) LIEDER
The piercing intelligence and dry registered ardour of Peter Schreier's particular qualities as a Lieder singer are ideally suited to the impulsive, dramatic, often melancholy spirit of Schumann's idiom, which itself found fullest expression in the songs that he wrote throughout his life and which this set so usefully surveys, from the total identification of the Romantic artist with his life and loves in the Liederkreis Op.24 to elliptical and ruminative settings of Lenau, the last work that Schumann composed in Dresden before his move to...

(2CD) CELLO TRANSCRIPTIONS
Schumann and the cello: we may think of the fine, late and rhapsodic Cello Concerto, or the lighter Stucke im Volkston, much beloved of cello students this past century and a half. But here is something different: songs, piano works - including the complete Kinderszenen cycle - and the Second Violin Sonata, all arranged for cello and piano. The arrangements were made by Friedrich Grutzmacher, that indefatigable populariser of the cello in mid-19th-century Germany and tireless appropriater and editor of other men's music for the cello at a ...

(CD) COMPLETE MUSIC FOR VIOLA AND PIANO
This collection provides a complete account of Robert Schumann's works for viola and piano. Schumann was a real innovator, who would often explore new instrumental combinations, sometimes bringing neglected or forgotten instruments back into the limelight. The works on this recording show just how many different moods the composer could evoke using the unusual combination of viola and piano, from the changeable nature of the Fantasiestu"cke Op.73 and the array of emotions portrayed in the Ma"rchenbilder Op.113 to the passion of the Adagio ...

(CD) COMPLETE ORGAN MUSIC
Robert Schumann is probably best known for his copious amount of piano works and lieder - music that, fuelled by vivid imaginings and unfettered emotions, represents one of the highest expressions of the Romantic spirit. It shouldn't be forgotten, however, that the composer also wrote masterly works for the organ, an instrument which interested him only occasionally but which he praised in his Rules for House and Life (1850): 'If you pass near a church and you hear the organ playing, go inside and listen... Never waste an opportunity to pr...

(CD) ALEXANDER LONQUICH
"O Schumann", λέει ο Heinz Holliger, "είναι ο συνθέτης που σχεδόν πάντα βρίσκεται στο επίκεντρο της σκέψης μου". Σε αυτή την ηχογράφηση ο Alexander Lonquich διατυπώνει τις διασυνδέσεις που υπάρχουν ανάμεσα στους ηχητικούς κόσμους της Kreisleriana, με τον σκοτεινό-νυχτερινό ρομαντισμό της, και τον ριζοσπαστικό ρομαντισμό της Παρτίτας του Holliger. Ενάμισης αιώνας χωρίζει αυτές τις δύο συνθέσεις. Ο Lonquich ερμηνεύει την έκδοση του 1838 της Kreisleriana και την Παρτίτα (1999), δύο έργα αφιερωμένα σε δυο μεγάλους πιανίστες, τον Fr?d?ric Chopi...

(CD) CONCERTOS POUR VILONCELLE, POUR PIANO
These two concertos by Schumann constitute the true quintessence of German Romanticism: this is music characterised from start to finish by a sense of going beyond formal limits and by a spirit of fantasy, with the solo instrument both the partner and the confidant of the orchestra. With the complicity of two exceptional soloists, Christophe Coin and Andreas Staier, Philippe Herreweghe here gives us the opportunity to rediscover two masterpieces played on period instruments....

(2-CD Set) GEISTERVARIATIONEN
Μια δεκαετία μετά την ηχογράφηση του πολυσυζητημένου άλμπουμ In Concert, ο Andras Schiff επανέρχεται στην καταγραφή του έργου του Robert Schumann με ένα διπλό άλμπουμ που ηχογραφήθηκε στην αίθουσα συναυλιών του Reitstadl Neumarkt. Το ρεπερτόριο περιλαμβάνει τα έργα Papillons, Fantasy In C Major op. 17, (όπου ο συνθέτης χάραξε νέους δρόμους στην τέχνη της σονάτας μετά τον Beethoven), Kinderszenen, Klaviersonate fis-moll op. 11, Waldszenen op. 82, καθώς και το έργο Geistervariationen (Ghost Variations). Ήταν η εποχή που η μεγαλοφυΐα του Schu...
