- To mark the 200th birthday of Robert Schumann in 2010, this new recording includes a unique program of the great German Romantic composer's late piano works.
- This release also marks the 70th birthday of Christoph Eschenbach - one of the great musicians of our times. This CD features him both as pianist and as conductor, together with his long-time musical protégé and close friend, pianist Tzimon Barto.
- Together, they perform a new Schumann "piano concerto arrangement": Eschenbach has coupled his elder compatriot's concertante rarities Op. 92 and Op. 134, on the model of a three-movement piano concerto, in which the "Geistervariationen" for piano solo take the function of a slow middle movement.
- As an "encore" to this program, Christoph Eschenbach and Tzimon Barto recorded the arrangement for two pianos by Claude Debussy of Six Etudes in Canonic Form, written by Schumann originally for pedal piano.
- Christoph Eschenbach leads the renowned NDR Sinfonieorchester as its former Chief Conductor (1998-2004).
