Schumann: 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 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.
Composer: Robert Schumann
Artists: Lorenzo Falconi (viola), Sara Bacchini (piano), Dario Goracci (clarinet)

This music is unbelievably beautiful. It's such a shame that is not well known.... I just discovered it today by randomly listening music here.

[@peterlim5730]

This is divine. My 1st exposure to this. The sombreness is evident in its lyricism.

[@denbal4917]

Que buena desintoxicación generada por la música actual. Los clásicos nunca mueren

[@axelsohn1454]

Thanks for posting these. I know the Fantasiestukeo as a cello and the Adagio and Allegro as a piece for french horn and in its transcription for cello, but it is nice to hear them for viola.

[@paulheffron4836]

These musical gems are a nice surprise to discover, especially for anyone who loves Schumann to begin with.The interpretation of the players is so thoughtful and imaginative. I will be listening to this often with great delight.
