  Klaviermusik

  This disc contains Schumann's three greatest abstract works for piano, including the Fantasy op.17 - arguably his finest piano work. Hamelin has lived with these works for many years, and has made something of a speciality of the C major Fantasy, which he has played many times in concert. These performances have been widely praised, and we are delighted that this studio recording captures all the poetry and Romantic feeling of his live performances.

  Violin Sonatas & 3 Romances

  Schumann told Wasielewski that he had composed his Violin Sonata in A minor at a time when he was 'very angry with certain people'. Whether or not that anger found its outlet in creative energy, he managed to complete the entire work within the space of less than a week. The Sonata is alone among Schumann's symphonically conceived chamber works in being cast in three movements, rather than four.

  Kammermusik

  Among Schumann's inspired late chamber works is a collection of music for more unusual instruments, composed in a concentrated flurry of creativity between 1849 and 1853 and written specifically for particular players, and it is to these exquisite short works that the world-famous Nash Ensemble turns its impeccable collective musicianship.

  Klavierwerke & Kammermusik Vol.10-klavier

  Daishin Kashimoto (Violine) - Lise Berthaud (Viola) - François Salque (Cello) -- Schumann's chamber music is, with Mendelssohn's, an absolute benchmark for the first half of the century in Europe. From Brahms to Fauré, from Saint-Saens and Lalo to Borodine, passing by Tchaikovsky, nobody could escape from neither his emotional power nor his formal model.

  The Songs Of Robert Schumann 9

  Ann Murray (Mezzosopran) - Graham Johnson (Piano) // This ninth volume in the Hyperion Schumann Edition brings us to music Schumann wrote for children, and what a delight it proves to be. The op.79 Liederalbum für die Jugend leads us on a journey through Schumann's affinity with the mind and imagination of the musical child, a journey which here is sensitively puntuated by fifteen items from the op.68 piano collection Klavieralbum für die Jugend.

  Feminae-The Female in Music

  For the program of the ARS PRODUKTION recording presented here with works by women composers, pianist Lisa Maria Schachtschneider was inspired by the 200th birthday of Clara Schumann in 2019. On this new SACD recording, she performs works by Clara Schumann, Tatjana Komarova, Fanny Hensel and Elisabetta de Gamberini amongst others. In the spirit of equality and diversification, however, she has decided to record the work of a male composer, with Robert Schumann's Carnaval op.9, too.

  Arabeske, Kreisleriana, Fantasie in C-Dur

  The emotional sweep of these marvelous works, reflecting the vicissitudes of Schumann's complex personal life at the time, calls for a pianist wholly responsive to their fervent Romanticism. The artistry of Stephen Hough proves ideal.

She has created a catalogue of over 400 works spanning virtually every genre from intimate vocal and chamber music to massive orchestral works and over twelve operas. Her music has been praised for it's dynamic, deeply inspired, and vigorous contemporary American spirit. Constantly sought after for commissions and premieres by major artists, ensembles and orchestras around the world, Libby Larsen has established a permanent place for her works in the concert repertory. Larsen has been hailed as "the only English-speaking composer since Benjamin Britten who matches great verse with fine music so intelligently and expressively" (USA Today), as "a composer who has made the art of symphonic writing very much her own." (Gramophone), as "a mistress of orchestration" (Times Union), and for "assembling one of the most impressive bodies of music of our time" (Hartford Courant). Her music has been praised for it's "clear textures, easily absorbed rhythms and appealing melodic contours that make singing seem the most natural expression imaginable." (Philadelphia Inquirer) "Libby Larsen has come up with a way to make contemporary opera both musically current and accessible to the average audience." (The Wall Street Journal). "Her ability to write memorable new music completely within the confines of traditional harmonic language is most impressive." (Fanfare) Libby Larsen has received numerous awards and accolades, including a 1994 Grammy as producer of the CD: The Art of Arlene Augér, an acclaimed recording that features Larsen's Sonnets from the Portuguese. Her opera Frankenstein, The Modern Prometheus was selected as one of the eight best classical music events of 1990 by USA Today. The first woman to serve as a resident composer with a major orchestra, she has held residencies with the California Institute of the Arts, the Arnold Schoenberg Institute, the Philadelphia School of the Arts, the Cincinnati Conservatory, the Minnesota Orchestra, the Charlotte Symphony, and the Colorado Symphony. Larsen's many commissions and recordings are a testament to her fruitful collaborations with a long list of world-renowned artists, including The King's Singers, Benita Valente, and Frederica von Stade, among others. Her works are widely recorded on such labels as Angel/EMI, Nonesuch, Decca, and Koch International.

In 1973, she co-founded (with Stephen Paulus) the Minnesota Composers Forum, now the American Composers Forum, which has been an invaluable advocate for composers in a difficult, transitional time for American arts. Consistently sought-after as a leader in the generation of millenium thinkers, Libby Larsen's music and ideas have refreshed the concert music tradition and the composer's role in it. © Libby Larsen.
