Schumann: Complete Music For Viola And Piano / Falconi, Bacchini, Goracci

Brilliant Classics

Available as CD

~~$13.99~~ $10.99

Jun 25, 2013

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 Fantasiestücke Op.73 and the array of emotions portrayed in the Märchenbilder Op.113 to the passion of the Adagio and Allegro Op.70 and finally the intricacies of the Märchenerzählungen Op.132, with a little help from the clarinet.

The successful partnership of violist Lorenzo Falconi and pianist Sara Bacchini has been described by acclaimed performer, Pier Narciso Masi, as 'a real Duo, in the most complete sense of the word. Their profound understanding of chamber music is supported by considerable talent, sensitivity and personality, and they are great communicators.' They are joined for the recording by clarinettist Darlo Goracci.

Other information:
- New recording, recorded 31 October & 1 November 2012, Chiesa di Santa Cristina, Bologna.
- This disc brings together all Schumann's music featuring the viola as solo instrument.
- Robert Schumann, visionary Romantic, was also a very practical man, who wrote works which could be played on various solo instruments. For instance his Adagio and Allegro Op. 70 may be played on clarinet, oboe, cello or viola.
- These relatively late works of Schumann are on an intimate scale and present idyllic musical landscapes, the world of legends and fairytales.
- Beautifully performed by the Italian duo Lorenzo Falconi and Sara Bacchini.
- Contains liner notes on the pieces and biographies of the performers.

Kabalesky 2nd & Schumann Cello Concertos

OUR Recordings

Available as CD

$16.99

Apr 18, 2025

Regarded today as the embodiment of classical music at it's most lyrical and poetic, composers have entrusted the cello with some of the loveliest melodies every penned. Yet, when it came to writing cello concertos, for most composers it was a "one and done" proposition. One of the major musi-cal monuments in the cello literature is the Schumann Concerto, composed as Schumann himself said because "there are so few works for this lovely instrument." In contrast, Soviet composer Dmitry Kabalevsky is one of the exceptions to the "one and done" rule. For a long time dismissed in the west as a mediocre apparatchik, a more evenhand-ed appraisal of Kabalevsky's work reveals a consummate craftsman with a natural gift for folk-inspired melodies and vivid orchestrations. The Cello Concerto No.2 in C minor, Op.77, owes an obvious debt to his colleague and one-time neighbor Dmitri Shostakovich and is fully deserving of be-ing more frequently played and programmed. This album marks the recording debut of the young Norwegian cellist, Theodor Lyngstad. Following studies at the Royal Danish Academy of Music with Morten Zeuthen, Lars Anders Tomter and David Geber at the Manhat-tan School of Music in New York, Theodor has been extremely active as a chamber musician as well as earning more than a few regional and national awards along the way, most signi?cantly, the Leonie Sonning Talent Prize. In 2019, Lyngstad was appointed solo cellist in the Copenhagen Phil., the youngest musicians to attain that honor. Lyngstad is accompanied by the rising conductorial star Eva Ollikainen and the innovative Copenhagen Phil. Producer is the award-winning Daniel Davidsen.

Oct 02, 2020

Raphaela Gromes has long been celebrated for her highly virtuoso, brilliant and passionately expressive cello playing. What also distinguishes this exceptional musician is her enjoyment of the musical treasure hunt. With her last Sony Classical release, she delighted audiences with the world premiere recording of the original version of the cello sonata by Richard Strauss. On her new album, Gromes surprises again with a world premiere recording of the Cello Concerto by Julius Klengel, who was already acclaimed as a new wonder cellist in his early years throughout Europe. The previously unpublished manuscript of this concerto has now been specially arranged for Gromes which she recorded together with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin conducted by Nicholas Carter. Raphaela's album also features the famous cello concerto by Robert Schumann, a Romance for cello and orchestra by Richard Strauss and duo pieces by Clara Schumann, Robert Schumann and Brahms. For the duo pieces, Raphaela is accompanied by her long-time piano partner Julian Riem. Robert Schumann's "Widmung" is taken from the song cycle "Myrthen". The "Romance" by Clara Schumann is originally the middle movement of her first piano concerto. And Brahms' Hungarian Dance No. 5 is arranged by the famous cellist Alfredo Piatti.

Mozart, Mendelssohn & Schumann: Invitation

PENTATONE

Mar 13, 2026

Irish Chamber Orchestra and J�rg Widmann present the album Invitation, featuring masterworks by Mozart, Mendelssohn, and Schumann. This album celebrates a remarkable ten-year creative partnership between the ICO and J�rg Widmann, who, while now pursuing new projects, remains closely connected with the ensemble. Marking the ICO's first recording with PENTATONE, Invitation captures the orchestra at it's most expressive, from the taut intensity and contrapuntal precision of Mozart's C-minor Serenade for Winds to the buoyant energy and intricate textures of Mendelssohn's String Symphony No. 8. Widmann's direction brings out the rich interplay of voices, the lyrical clarity of the winds and strings, and the dynamic contrasts that give each work it's distinctive character. The album concludes with Schumann's Overture, Scherzo and Finale, delivered with infectious rhythmic drive and exuberant lyricism. The ICO's finely tuned ensemble playing highlights the sparkling dialogue between strings and winds, while Widmann shapes the work's sweeping gestures and playful contrasts with precision and vitality. Across these three composers, Invitation offers listeners an immediate sense of drama, wit, and emotional depth, revealing the subtle humour, harmonic brilliance, and expressive contrasts that define each masterpiece, and celebrating a decade of collaboration between conductor and orchestra.

Productions by the Munich Piano Trio delight us time and again: one time they'll discover unknown works and draw an "Ah!" of astonishment, while the next time they'll focus on the great works of the repertoire and "Wow!" us with their marvelous interpretation. The eighth recording by the ensemble, now celebrating it's 33rd year, is inspired by Robert Schumann's guiding principle: the artist's mission is to cast light into the depths of the human heart. And if speakers could not only emit sound, but were capable of shining, there is no doubt they would be doing so during what is perhaps Schumann's most well-known Piano Trio (No. 2) and his equally wonderful Piano Quartet... Bravo to the persistence of great artists!

Claudio Boh�rquez and P�ter Nagy are releasing a new album, dedicated to that composer par excellence Robert Schumann, and his works for chamber duo Performing a programme comprising works from the clarinet, oboe, viola and vocal repertoires, the two renowned soloists throw renewed light on some unknown facets of a famous composer. The key focus of the album is a central work in the field of Lieder Schumann's Dichterliebe Boh�rquez and Nagy lure their listeners on a journey through the innermost core of Romantic emotions Boh�rquez has a highly interesting technique, sure to fascinate not just connoisseurs of Dichterliebe of interpreting these songs without words with such a fine level of tonal nuance and such songful bowing that they never seem like wordless songs. There are further chamber works by Schumann to enjoy, the majority not actually written for the combination of cello and piano his Three Fantasy Pieces op 73 were originally composed for clarinet or violin and piano Schumann actually wrote the Three Romances op 94 for oboe, the Fairytale Pictures op 113 for viola and piano The experienced chamber music duo simply claim as their own these pieces which might seem alien to their combination of instruments "This gave me the opportunity to immerse myself in a whole range of other instruments and to find a solution for the cello," explains Boh�rquez. Only the Five Pieces in Folk Style op 102 were originally scored for the cello. Altogether the resulting album, by combining these five works, does not standardize them into part of the cello piano repertoire On the contrary in each of the works, Boh�rquez and Nagy immerse themselves in a thoroughly new and individual tonal landscape, and in Schumann's Dichterliebe they even succeed in conjuring up the lyrics of Heinrich Heine.

Brahms & the Schumanns: New Paths / Mari Kodama

PENTATONE

Available as SACD

~~$21.99~~ $16.99

Nov 18, 2022

Mari Kodama presents New Paths, exploring the young Johannes Brahms and his fascinating friendship with Clara and Robert Schumann. The album derives its title from Robert Schumann’s famous essay “Neue Bahnen”, in which he heralded the young Brahms as the most eminent musical voice of the future. The program brings together Brahms’s first piano sonata, his Variations on a Theme by Robert Schumann, Op. 9, as well as his Theme And Variations, Op. 18B, made at Clara Schumann’s request. The final word is given to Clara’s arrangement of Robert’s song Widmung.

New Paths not only explores the unique bond of these three remarkable composers, but also shows the energetic self-confidence of the young Brahms, so different from his later melancholia. Kodama performs these works on a brand new Yamaha piano that almost sounds like a period instrument, coming much closer to Brahms’s sound ideal. Mari Kodama is one of the most extraordinary pianists of our age, and has an impressive Pentatone discography, featuring Beethoven’s complete piano sonatas (2003-2014), piano concertos of Loewe and Chopin (2003), Tchaikovsky Ballet Suites for Piano Duo (2016), De Falla’s Nights in the Gardens of Spain (2017), Martinu’s Concerto for Two Pianos (2018), Kaleidoscope, Beethoven Transcriptions and MON AMI Mon amour (both 2020).

Feb 16, 2024

Violinist Alena Baeva joins Alpha Classics for several recordings, starting with an album of chamber music with pianist Vadym Kholodenko, her favourite partner. Together they offer an eclectic and unusual programme of Schubert's fearsome and magnificent Fantasy for violin and piano, composed a year before his death… This is followed by Stravinsky's joyous and boisterous miniatures in a collection entitled Divertimento, proposed as an abridgement of the ballet Le Baiser de la fee (The Fairy's Kiss). Olivier Messiaen composed a Fantaisie for his first wife, the violinist Claire Delbos, but the work was not published until 2007. Die Marchenbilder by Schumann complete the programme. Initially a pupil at the Moscow Conservatory, Alena Baeva later left Russia and was taught by Shlomo Mintz, Mstislav Rostropovich, Boris Garlitsky and Seiji Ozawa. At just 16, she won the Grand Prize in the Henryk Wieniawski International Competition, and many other prizes followed. Alena Baeva plays the Guarneri del Gesù "ex-William Kroll" of 1738. Ukrainian pianist Vadym Kholodenko was awarded the Van Cliburn Gold Medal in 2013.

Robert Schuman is one of a number of 19th century artists whose creativity was dogged by mental illness. The works he wrote at the end of his life have particularly suffered from being seen soley through his prism. Madnenss in no way helps us understand his late style. A common misconception is that Schumann the composer was mad however it was Schumann the man, who was mad. Soo Park goes in depth with Schumann, finding the harmonies and sanity in his works.

Schumann: Piano Trios, Vol. 1 / Kungsbacka Piano Trio

BIS

Feb 07, 2020

It was in 1842, his ‘year of chamber music’ that Robert Schumann took on the combination of violin, cello and piano for the first time. He seems to have decided against releasing the resulting Fantasiestücke as a fully-fledged piano trio, however, but later returned to the work, revising it for publication in 1850. The model here is not the large-scale, quasi-symphonic trios of Beethoven or Schubert – instead Haydn’s characteristic trio textures spring to mind, especially in the first two movements where the cello largely follows the piano’s left-hand bass line. By the time the Fantasiestücke was published, Schumann had already written two ‘proper’ piano trios, No. 1 in D minor and No. 2 in F major. According to the composer the second of these ‘makes a friendlier and more immediate impression’ but it is in fact the D minor trio that has long been the more popular: passionate, mainly extrovert and bursting with fine thematic material it is the easiest to grasp on one hearing. Both works are filled to capacity with imitative writing, sometimes conspicuously so but often subtly as if on a subconscious level – an aspect that the members of the Kungsbacka Piano Trio, with more than 20 years of playing together, are able to make the most of.

Following the success of her previous albums dedicated to Beethoven/Wölfl, Bach/Kapustin, and Couperin/Messiaen, the pianist now presents her latest recording that explores the romantic repertoire with orchestra. This album features two Piano Concertos that beautifully capture the essence of the romantic era, complemented by solo piano pieces by Robert and Clara Schumann and C.M. von Weber. Weber's departure from the classical to the romantic era and Schumann's legacy as a female composer bear witness to the mastery of both in Luisa Imorde's outstanding interpretation.
