Schumann/Volkmann - Romantic Cello Concerto (The), Vol. 2 - Lintu, Hannu
Leveranstid: Skickas vanligtvis inom 2-5 dagar
Praised for his ‘passion and sensitivity’ by the BBC Music Magazine for his recording of the concertos by Dohnányi,
Enescu & d’Albert (volume 1, see below), Alban now turns his attention to works by four of his compatriots: Robert
Schumann, Friedrich Gernsheim, Robert Volkmann and Albert Dietrich. This collective, along with Johannes Brahms,
were all friends and colleagues, each achieving considerable success in their lifetime, yet it is only Schumann and
Brahms who have managed to hold onto that mantle through to the present day. Even Schumann’s Cello Concerto,
written in 1850, remained unperformed until 1860 and it wasn’t until the early twentieth century that, thanks to Pablo
Casals, it secured its rightful place in the repertoire.
The other works on this disc are all first recordings.
