In his Piano Quartet and Quintet, Schumann revisited the frameworks inherited from Schubert and Beethoven to create astonishingly innovative structures.
Their grandiose musical and emotional gestures place these works among his supreme achievements.
The prestigious artists assembled here, with their extensive experience of performing Schumann’s chamber music and concertos, do full justice to his imaginative world.
The Quintet is a brilliant virtuoso vehicle with a symphonic tone but these five musicians don’t turn it into a quasi-piano concerto with string quartet, as sometimes occurs. Rather, they meld their ensemble seamlessly and attend to minute details of phrasing and dynamics without losing sight of the shape of each movement.
