• This new recording brings together the chamber music that Schumann wrote featuring the clarinet, coupled with the clarinet trio by Glinka.
• Robert Schumann (1810-1856), visionary Romantic, was also a very practical man, who wrote works which could be played on various solo instruments. The Fantasiestucke Op. 73, the Drei Romanzen Op. 74 and
the Marchenerzahlungen (Fairy Tales) may be performed with either viola, oboe or clarinet.
• These relatively late works of Schumann are on an intimate scale and present idyllic musical landscapes, the world of legends and fairytales.
• The Trio Pathetique by Schumann’s contemporary Mikhael Glinka is in classical/romantic style, written under the influence of an unrequited love. Glinka wrote in the autograph: “I have known love only through the
pain it brings”.
• Giovanni Punzi is one of the foremost clarinet players of the young Italian generation. He played in the Mahler Youth Orchestra, the Verbier Festival Orchestra under conductors like Abbado, Gergiev, Muti, Gatti and Nagano.
