Info zu Schumann: Cello Concerto and Works for Cello & Piano

Schumann’s love of the cello, which developed when he learned the instrument as a young man, is expressed most fully in his Cello Concerto in A minor. It is a work marked by freshness of spirit and singing lyricism and stands as a rich example of mid-19th-century Romanticism. The series of characterful small pieces that include Fünf Stücke im Volkston reveals Schumann’s joy in the cello’s unique lyrical capabilities. The Drei Romanzen and the Intermezzo from the F–A–E Sonata are presented here in new arrangements for cello and piano by Gabriel Schwabe.
