Key item features

  • THE SCHUMANN PROJECT: VOLUME 1 - Juxtaposing two large scale works by Clara Schumann (née Wieck) and Robert Schumann on a recording will certainly invite comparisons between them; however, my aim in The Schumann Project series is to simply unite, on each album, two or more works by kindred souls. How different the dynamics of this 'power couple' of the 19th century might be today if one were to imagine Robert and Clara as equal partners in life. Robert's endlessly rich, phantasmagorical compositional world thrived with a muse like Clara. Robert surely respected Clara the concert pianist and didn't necessarily discourage Clara the composer. But Clara the concert pianist, mother, wife and caretaker to her troubled, unstable husband outweighed Clara the composer – so much so that her confidence in her own compositional skill simply had no room to blossom. Offering Robert's and Clara's music together on the same program is not only a tribute to their musical voices but also to love and partnership in its many forms and with all its complexities, pains and joys.
